In today’s Scoop:
🗳️ Precincts 3B, 7A and 8A have new polling places for Nov. 3.
📍 Early voting is scheduled to start Oct. 13 at the Costa Building downtown.
🤿 October's Scuba Class Filled Up. Here's How to Get Into November's.
For 27 years, Dolphin Dive Center has been where Athens goes when learning to scuba dive finally moves from "maybe someday" to the calendar. Its October beginner class is already full.
The next one is in November, and it's built for people who have never been underwater with a tank on their back. No previous scuba certification is required. You spend November 7–8 in the classroom and the pool learning the gear and the skills, then finish with your open water checkout dives on November 14–15 alongside an instructor.
Two weekends, and you come out certified to dive. Thousands of people have taken that first step at Dolphin Dive. Some have since logged hundreds of dives around the world, some became instructors, and some now bring their own kids through the same Open Water course.
Can't make November? The December class runs December 5–6, with checkout dives December 19–20. Fill out the short form on the Say Yes page to ask about a spot, or call the shop at (706) 548-3483. It's on Atlanta Highway, right next to the Blind Pig.

🚗 Andy Has Spent About 40 Years Behind the Wheel. Now He Needs More Drivers.
Andy Frost has about 40 years of driving behind him, including railroad and airport work. In 2023 he started Andy’s Transport Services in Athens, and now he's looking for more drivers to take trips alongside him.
The job is on-call with no set schedule, so you drive when you're available, part-time or full-time. Drivers are paid daily, and Andy says they can earn better than rideshare.
You'll need a clean driving record and reliable transportation. Andy likes to talk with people directly, so call him at 762-400-2141 or reach out through his website.
