    Default Crystal River Manatees

    We left the dock and 10 minutes later... Here is the short video of
    snorkling with the manatees on Crystal River

    Default It was a blast

    It was the company I was with that made this weekend trip a blast.
    I'm a real lucky guy.. To have and be around such good people...

    Check out American Pro.. They are the ones that took us up river
    in search to the manatees.. Great organization.

    Cheers,
    Lars

    Default Bring your dive gear

    I forgot to mention.. There is a small cavern (Kings Springs) you can dive
    before/after the manatees...
    That is what we did... On our way to King Springs we found the two manatees.. We stopped, got into the water... listen to mom grunt.. then the
    baby (a boy) hung around us (the video) while mom (like all moms) took the
    opportunity to rest... Phew she said... I can finally get a little rest... She told
    her son, stay where I can see you! and the baby said, but mom... they're only
    humans... and the rest is on video...
