Please forward the below information to individuals you feel may be
interested.

I would like to invite you to attend the 2008 ocean exploration symposium
at Florida State University - Panama City June 5, 2008.  This year's
symposium will fulfill FSU's Advanced Science Diving Program's charter
goal of inspiring and educating students and the community with research
relating to diving, ocean technologies, and studies that protect and
advance a better understanding of our ocean environment.

Panama City is the hub of Military, Recreational, Scientific, and Public
Safety Diving with facilities such as the Navy Experimental Diving Unit,
Naval Support Activity, Dive Lab, Museum of Man in the Sea, and Florida
State University.  That makes Panama City the ideal location for
underwater research, and consequently the ideal location to host our
annual symposium celebrating our ocean world. I look forward to seeing you
there; Did I mention that it is FREE to the publi.
