Snorkeling with Manatee Tour and Dive, Crystal River, Florida 2019
While on vacation in Florida, we swam with the manatees. Manatee Tour and Dive gave us plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with these massive animals.

SWIMMING WITH MANATEES IN CRYSTAL RIVER
ℹ️ ABOUT THE EPISODE
Our full-time rv living family swims with manatees in Crystal River in our Florida vlog.
We headed north to Crystal River because we heard some awesome things about how the manatees flock inland and congregate at a spring called Three Sisters.
We looked at booking a tour but for the price of everyone in our party it was going to be pretty expensive. So we went to a local dive shop in Crystal River, FL and rented a boat for $30/hr. We stayed out for about 3 to 4 hours. We got to swim into Three Sisters and see a manatee.
The waters in the ocean have been warming back up so many of the manatees in Crystal River have left back to the gulf.

Things to do in Crystal River on a Weekend Getaway
Crystal River is located along Central Florida’s “Nature Coast.”
Crystal River is a quiet, yet adventurous town off Florida’s Gulf of Mexico coast. I love the area so much that I went back again this year to check off some of the things I didn’t do last year!
There's SO much things to do in Crystal River, Florida on a weekend getaway. Three Sisters Springs and swimming or kayaking with the manatees is a must!

Majestic Manatee Tour Crystal River, Florida
Crystal River, Florida is one of the places where many manatees call home during the winter months. It's constant 72 degree spring water is perfect for them during this season. I have to say, swimming with manatees is one of the most amazing life experiences and adventures ever. My inner child (who desperately wanted to be a Marine Biologist) was in all her glory watching and observing, and just basking in their awesomeness. They are so interesting to watch and we saw about 6 of them. They don't do much when they're resting, but watching their faces as they come up to take a breath or two then head back down to continue their nap is so cool to see. And who knew that algae grew on them and the fish eat the algae off of them. Some even had barnacles that grew on them. The ones resting near rocks looked just like rocks and I'm fascinated by how something so big can be so camouflage but also glide and move so smoothly. Did you know that manatees only have about 3-4% body fat?? Hard to believe! That was just one of the interesting facts that Captain Colin told us about on your tour. We highly recommend the Majestic Manatee Tour with Captain Colin and swim guide, Mikayle. They were AMAZING and this was an awesome trip for the whole family. Even our 6 year old had a wonderful time.

Crystal River Manatee Adventure- CMW Adventures
This weekend we went on a pretty amazing adventure...swimming with manatees! Due to their endangered status we had to follow many laws under both the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act to make sure we protect these beautiful creatures. Our Florida state certified guide said it best, “You can’t harass the manatees but they can harass you” lol. And they did just that, giving so many kisses and hugging us with their flippers. Such friendly and curious animals! It was definitely an adventure we will never forget!
Rainbow River Florida: Scuba Diving
Rainbow River Florida: Scuba Diving
Rainbow River is located in Dunnellon Florida about 20 miles southwest of Ocala. The river begins as a first magnitude spring located in the aptly named Rainbow Springs State Park. Rainbow Springs is ranked fourth in the state for the volume of discharge (somewhere round 400-600 million gallons a day).
Adding to this are numerous other springs along the rivers path as it winds its way to Dunnellon.
Today, our boat is launching from K.P. Hole Park and will take us up stream for a drift dive along a portion of the River’s course.
I hope you enjoy the dive!

Snorkeling with Manatees!! Plantation Adventure Center - Crystal River, Florida
Josiah and my mom volunteered to venture into the water with me to snorkel with the manatees during our stay in Crystal River. This has been an activity I've wanted to do for years! We put on wetsuits and followed our guide into the murky water of Kings Bay estuary in late January. The water temperature is a steady 74 degrees, and the wetsuits acted as floatation devices as we were careful to float in the designated areas for swimmers. The water had been stirred up, either from weather the night before or from the manatees themselves, but we were able to swim along side many of these gentle giants as they roamed slowly through the water.

UNDERWATER CAVE DIVING AT DEVIL'S DEN
ℹ️ ABOUT THE EPISODE
Our full-time RV living family visits Devil Den in this Florida Vlog. After our trip to Crystal River we headed north to Devils Den. Where we stayed at the Devils Den RV Park for 2 nights.
At the Devil Den Prehistoric Spring you can SCUBA dive and Snorkel the underwater cave. The Prehistoric Spring is part of the Georgia/Florida Aquifer catchment area. This year they have received an unprecedented amount of rain. Resulting in their water level being 6 -7 feet above what they consider normal. You'll see a metal platform that they've constructed on top of their wooden platform to allow for an easier entry into the cave.
Dive in with us as we explore Devil Den Prehistoric Spring!
