It is not necessary to be an experienced diver to enjoy swimming with the manatees.

Most take to snorkeling in minutes. If you wish to dive, we have a PADI Certified Dive Instructor.

Your comfort and safety is our number one priority on all of our tours. If you prefer not to enter the water you can stay topside to view the manatees.
