Our family had an amazing morning swimming with the manatee. Gabbie and Jason were extremely helpful and so much fun! The manatee were cooperative and we were able to follow so many! Thanks for making it a memorable day.

We booked the semi-private with Magan as the guide and Alex as our captain. BEST DAY EVER! We saw so many manatees and got superb pictures as well. Magan is excellent at what she does and her and Alex got us in the best spots at the best times. When you come request them and you’ll have the most scrumdiddlydumptious time ever. Fun 2 Dive is the best place to do this and Magan and Alex are the best people to do it with.
