Mission Journal 6 — Administrator: Mission Day 4: Saturday, July 16th, 2005

The habitat is starting to feel like home now. Ross and Otter, our habitat technicians are really treating us right, with lots of good snacks and warm Tang on our stops back at the wet-porch for air fills.

Our time here so far has been very productive! We have been spending most of our time during the first days getting the equipment ready for the control volume experiments.

One of the coolest things about spending so much time in the water is that you see things that you wouldn’t normally have time to notice: fish making mistakes and bumping into things, big fish eating littler fish, some really aggressive little fish who push the big fish (and us!) around. Last night we were treated to several Caribbean reef squid displaying outside the dining port hole.
