The Venice tooth hunting trip was a success.  Everyone came home with a fair amount of teeth, and were able to hunt up several other types of fossils, including fish brains and manatee bones.  Thanks to everyone that went, and we cannot wait til the next one.

Well, the trip is off to a bang with Todd and Patti taking a small group of divers down to Crystal River, FL to watch the manatees.  Dinner was had on the first night at the Ale House, and everyone seems to be in great spirits so far.  Eight am tomorrow morning, watch out manatees!

TRY Diving is planning to offer Discover SCUBA Courses at hotels and condos near you.

Panama City Beach, TRY Diving is happy to let you know that we will be working to bring the SCUBA Experience to you.  Talks are currently underway to offer a one time dive experience to the guests of the Holiday Inn Sunspree.  If this is successful, we will be offering this program in swimming pools at condos and hotels all over the beach.

If you work at a hotel or condo in Panama City Beach, Panama City, or San Destin area and this interests you, please contact Todd or Patti at 850 527 1307.

It is time for the second Launch of the TRY Diving website.  We are proud to announce some huge changes to our line up.  Todd Yarbrough, the head instructor of TRY Diving is now a PADI Course Director.  This is the highest certification that can be earned by a PADI Professional, making up far less than 1% of divers worldwide.  We will be offering Instructor level courses at many locations, to include Chattahoochee Scuba and Swim in Columbus, GA, Scuba West in Hudson, FL, and here in Panama City Beach at the Dive Locker.  If becoming a professional scuba diver interests you,   please give Todd a call at 850 527 1307 or e mail him at todd.reece.yarbrough@gmail.com.

Also, we will be conducting several clean ups at St Andrews State Park over the next year, so please give us a call and get involved with that so we can keep our local dive sites pristine.  Talk to Todd or Patti about Project AWARE and how you can help save the world.

Finally, we want to discuss two new charters in the area and what they bring to the table.  First is Easy Day, this is captained by one of Todd’s divemaster, Brandon Insalaco.  This boat will run as a six pack charter, this means no crowds and a nice custom trip every time.  We will be using him as much as he will let us.  Second, The Bennett Dive Company is bringing a live aboard to the emerald coast.  This boat will be 70 feet long and will specialize in the Florida Shipwreck Trail.  They will also offer Middleground trips and Empire Mica trips for you die hards.

As you can see, there are exciting things happening in Panama City, and we at TRY Diving hope to include you in the list.
