January 10… Manatees!!!

I took Susanne to swim with the manatees today in Crystal River FL. We went with Fun2Dive tour company. They did a fantastic job, outfitted us with wet suits and snorkel gear, and took us out in the boat.

Went to an area called Three Sisters Springs. There were dozens of manatees, some swimming around, some just lying on the bottom, coming up to breathe every now and then. A great experience. Susy was blown away.

      There was a family here with 2 kids around the age of ten. I couldn’t help but think of you and your Michael bringing your future children one day. After getting back on the boat, excited about what he had just experienced, the boy said, “We need to tip them a million dollars!”

  5. I love seeing new photos of manatees. Was that a baby one you were taking photos of?

  6. I assume it was a baby 😄, it was one fourth the size of the rest of them. Susy and I were just hovering and it swam right up to us and stopped within inches of our face masks. Those pics were taken by our guide, shortly after it had backed off a bit.

  7. I own and run the website https://bestfloridasprings.com would you mind if I used some of these photos and gave you credit for them? I would add a link going to your website.

      Our tour guide Jessica at Fun2dive is the person that took the pictures if you could please add her to the credit.
