Thanks to Steve and Captain Ross we had the best tour we could wish for. Steve really wants you to see the manatees and shows them to you. He explained everything really well and I can't wait to go again when I am in the area! I loved that they had the 5mm wetsuits which really let you float in the water and you don't have to do anything. And they have hot showers which is really comfortable after being wet in the cold weather and you get hot chocolate :D Thank you so much, I will recommend it to everyone of my friends!!!

We had the best day with Ed and Steve yesterday doing a semi private tour with Plantation Adventure Center! They knew exactly where to bring us to find the manatees and Ed did an amazing job of taking pictures and videos of each of us with the manatees. The manatees were so friendly and playful. It was an incredible experience and we loved every moment of it! They had towels, coffee and hot chocolate on the boat waiting for us when we got out of the water. Also the entire dive shop crew was awesome. They all greeted us before and after our tour with genuine care and we felt so at home! It was an incredible day and we came back today to do it all over again and had an equally amazing time! We went out with Ed and Misty this time and loved every second again. This group of people are amazing and we are so thankful to have found such a wonderful crew to experience this with. Definitely a must do!!

I have loved manatees since I was a child. For my 30th Birthday my parents surprised me with a trip to crystal river to swim with the manatees. I was so excited, but the trip far exceeded my wildest expectations. Captain Lance and Captain John did an amazing job preparing us for what to expect and helping us get comfortable in the water before we got to where the manatees were. Captain John was an expert at finding the right spot and helping us to experience the manatees the right way. I will cherish memories from this day forever.
