Highly recommend!!! One of the best things I’ve ever done and we’ve done a lot.. Captain Ed and Captain Bob were terrific!!!!! We swam with many Manatees including babies who came up and gave us a kiss.. best wet suits too.. Didn’t have to use a noodle like everyone else as our wet suit were warm and buoyant.. Capt. Ed took an awesome video of our experience too... Came from California and will come back again. Asking of course for Bob or Ed...

We took the 6:30 am semi-private tour with Capt. Ed and Capt. Bob and thought it was fantastic! Capt. Bob took 6 of us to two different sites over the course of three hours, including the famed Three Sisters. Capt. Ed guided us in the water and took photos and videos of all of the guests meeting manatees — including some very up-close-and-personal interactions! I would definitely recommend going on the earliest tours during the day, because as we were returning to the dive shop we saw dozens of other boats — some carrying at least 10 or 20 guests each in MUCH less impressive watercraft — heading out to where we had been. The divesuits, masks and snorkels were in excellent condition — much better than we have seen from other dive shops on many prior scuba trips. The crew also offered coffee and hot chocolate while we were cruising between sites. Capt. Ed and Capt. Bob were very personable and shared a ton of information about the area — not only about the manatees, but about some of the homes and boats in the area and the terrible flooding caused by Hurricane Hermine on Labor Day in 2016. Great tour provider.

There are no guarantees when animals can roam free but Captain Steve and Misty had the patience and experience (and luck) to offer us an amazing experience. We saw manatees up close near Crystal Springs and I was very happy but they decided to make one more stop. As we waited and waited watching the water, the next thing you know we were all back in the water with very friendly manatees including a Mom and her twins swimming around us. What a great experience!
