A lifetime memory excursion - We had the most amazing snorkel swim with a mother manatee and her baby. Our captains Abbie and captain Rodney got us right to the perfect spot. Captain Abbie was the boat skipper and was very good at handing the boat to get us into the hot spot. Captain Rodney was fun and super informative. He taught us proper manners when around these amazing creatures. Captain Rodney also suggested a fun afternoon for us at the wildlife refuge in Homosassa. It was also amazing.

Amazing Manatee Encounter! - We booked the snorkel with manatees tour and it did not disappoint. Captain Rodney our dive guide and Captain Abbie our boat captain were absolutely wonderful. They were very informative and had great personalities. Rodney did an excellent job coaching us on how to act in the water around these amazing creatures. I would highly recommend this tour with this company.

Snorkel With a Manatee With the BEST! - We took our two youngest on a three hour snorkeling tour with American Pro Divers and it was a fabulous experience! We travelled from our Daytona vacation spot for this adventure. We received proper education and equipment; even prescription goggles! Our captains were Rod and Bruce. They were engaging, informative and funny. We were able to see all of King’s Bay as the team diligently searched for a manatee for us to observe while Bruce captained our boat and Rod scouted. Bruce helped us get into the water so as to not startle the manatee and Rod made sure to keep us and the manatee safe while helping us to remain close as the precious sea cow swam about. He even took pictures of the whole excursion, set them to music and offered a flash drive so we could treasure our memories. We will take this excursion again and again. We were able to get a Groupon and this made this escapade so affordable! Don’t miss out! Let American Pro Divers take you on an unforgettable adventure!

Respecting and swimming with a fabulous animal! - We had the most amazing Manatee swim, being able to swim with baby manatees for the entire tour! Our guides, Captains Dan and Bruce (sos sorry if I have your names wrong as you were wonderful) came across two moms with two babies. After we observed them for a while, it was as if the moms decided we were free daycare! The moms went off to the side and allowed the babes to play in and around us for the remainder of our time. It was so much fun to watch them play. They would basically play games similar to hide-n-seek and tag, popping up right in front of you, as if to say ‘gotcha’! We could not have asked for a better experience. And, our captains had a wealth of knowledge about the manatees. It was fabulous to learn about this species from them. I felt good that these are the people doing the tours with the manatees as they showed, and stressed, the utmost respect for these creatures.

Lovely viewing of a Manatee!! - John & Bruce were great. We had a party of four ranging 13 to 70. They were very accommodating to all of our ages. They knew their facts and made the trip fun and interesting. They made sure everyone saw the manatee a few times.

It was fine! - The guides were awesome but the water was so murky. I could tell a manatee was under me but couldn’t see it. I wouldn’t do it again.
