Thanksgiving on Crystal River Area/Rainbow River Drift Dive - We did the Manatee tour with Austin and Abby. It was great. We got to see quite a few of these gentle giants and really had a great morning. The drift dive down Rainbow River was a fantastic experience. John was a great Dive Guide and Aiden did a great job with the boat. Really thought John was great as it had been awhile since our last dives. They got us set up and think it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend using American Pro Dive Center!

Children’s core memory unlocked! - We had a blast swimming with the manatees during our Thanksgiving Holiday vacation. This was our second time, but we had my 5 year old daughter with us this time and it will definitely be a core memory for her. Shout out to our Captain Austin and our diver Abbey! They were great and treated us to a cup of hot cocoa after our swim! Definitely recommend this excursion!!!

10/10 Recommend! - We had a great time with Captain Rodny and Bruce snorkeling with Manatees! We were inexperienced swimmers and this was our first time snorkeling. We felt super safe and Rodny walked us through every step! Recommend 10/10!

Great trip - Florida Vacation: This morning it was time for snorkeling with the manatees. On advice, we booked a tour at American Pro Diving Center. We were warmly welcomed by John, our captain for the trip. The start is already good, they take their time for you and after the instructional video it is time to go boating and snorkeling. At the boat Ayden was already waiting for us. John and Ayden are very well known in these waters. They took us to a nice place to snorkel, in the clear water we could see the manatees very well. Back on the boat the hot tea or chocolate was waiting. Highly recommended. Best Regards to John & Ayden from Arno, Katerina, Ronald, Manuela & Karin

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.
