If you want an amazing dive experience, I offer you my personal experience from diving with the manatees in the Crystal River in Florida. I have made the trip 3 times, and each time it just gets better! It`s a great experience to see these animals in the wild. They really are unique creatures. If you go, don`t go on a snorkeling trip with the hoards of divers who crowd onto the party boats. Take the extra time to go with a SCUBA crew that can show you the true parts of all the springs within the Crystal River, and the great places to dive. There`s nothing in the world like an underwater dance with a 9 ft., 2,000 lb. creature in 30+ feet of water!

ScubaCoop - 12/24/2007 5:31 AM Amazing, thanks for sharing! I`ve always admired these creatures at SeaWorld. I had a similar dive experience with Sting Ray in Grand Cayman. Aren`t there Gators in these rivers? I never attempted fresh water scuba when I lived in South Georiga...
