| My research buddy, Brian, and I at our safety stop |
After five weeks of data collection for our independent research project, we had our last collection dives. For my project, I just had to get some logistical data, which only took about 20 minutes. However, I planned my dive for an hour and gave us a deeper maximum depth, so we could go explore the reef slope. This was a great way to celebrate the end of data collection in preparation for data analysis and writing our research paper. It was amazing to get to enjoy the reef slope without having an assignment associated with the dive.
