Met up with a group who flew in a day later, and we took a twelve seater plane to Golfito. Checked into the hotel, then went straight to the pool and bar where everyone else was waiting. Introduced myself to the team, and grabbed some refreshments. There are some incredible people here and I still can’t believe I’m doing this. Costa Rica is a beautiful country, and fortunately the Alvin team has tomorrow off so my roommate, my mentor and I are heading out early to do some scuba diving. I’m extremely excited since my experience diving has been cold Maine waters. My state room on board is fairly big which is a pleasant surprise. My roommate's name is Jeremy and he is a design engineer/research engineer who primarily works for the ROV Jason team at WHOI. He’s super helpful and knowledgeable, and we’re diving together which will be amazing. Got the tour earlier today of the whole ship as well as the submersible hangar. We aren’t even underway yet and my mind is still blown. More to come very soon, until next time.
