Hey all!

Just a quick note to let you know what I am up to! Or maybe since it
involves diving I should say down too? Anyway As most of you know I am no
longer working at Palmetto Dive Center, however, I am still diving, teaching
classes, and leading trips. I will be leading a trip to West Palm Beach on
April 3rd and 4th. The plan is to do 2 boat dives Saturday after noon, a
beach night dive that evening and 2 more boat dives on Sunday. Diving in
West Palm is always fun and exciting. We usually see a nurse shark or two,
barracuda, tons of reef fish, moray eels, turtles, and lobsters just to name
a few of the highlights. I will be offering an advanced class on this trip
if anybody is interested. Trip cost is $140 includes hotel (double
occupancy), boats, and air fills. Non-divers are welcome, ask me for
pricing.

I also have an Open Water Diver course coming up starting April 14th in
Beaufort. Cost is $200. So get your non diver buddies and family started.
I have also received some requests for discover scuba programs and I am
working on setting some up in the near future. This program lets non-divers
try scuba in the confines of a pool with an instructor's supervision. I
will let you know as soon as I get one scheduled.

The last bit of information I have to pass on has to do with all the manatee
photos I have taken in Crystal River last season. I chose 24 of my
favorites and put them onto a puzzle cd. It is now available at:
http://www.locationbeaufort.com/cdpuzzle You can check out one of the
puzzles online for free so try it out when you get a chance and let me know
what you think.

Sea ya on the bottom!
