March 1 is the deadline to sign up to take part in Georgia Highlands College's first trip to the Bahamas.

Space is limited to 20 students.

Students who participate in this study abroad program can earn two hours of physical education credit in basic scuba and four hours of physical science credit.

The basic cost for the trip is $1,200, but students should expect to pay approximately $600 to $800 more for tuition and other miscellaneous expenses.

Pre-trip meeting dates are May 16 through 19, and will include both class and pool sessions where students will be instructed in basic scuba certification.

At these sessions students will also be instructed on the principles of physical science with emphasis on the physics of fluids, oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns as well as the marine ecosystem.

The travel dates are May 20 through May 27.

Billy Morris, associate professor of geology, and Mark Pergrem, instructor of physics, are coordinating the trip.

In June Morris will also take Geology 1121K and 1122K classes to Wyoming to study rock and mineral identification, stratigraphy, paleontology, as well as structure, topographic and geologic mapping.

The dates for the trip are June 5 through the 19. The Wyoming trip has been filled to capacity.

For more information, contact Morris at [email protected] or Pergrem at [email protected].
