Manatee Snorkel: Crystal River Florida - December 30th 2017
Manatee Snorkel Crystal River Florida - December 30th 2017
Crystal River is a great place to check out Manatees during the winter months. They life to congregate near the springs because the water stays about 72 degrees Fahrenheit all year long. Manatees are very sensitive to cold, and can go into shock if the temperature drops to much. This is why it is important not to feed or give fresh water to manatees. If you alter their habits, they may not migrate where they need to go in the winter months.
This trip was conducted through American Pro Dive Center which does a very good job at making sure its patrons follow the rules while in the water. During manatee encounters, everyone must stay floating on the surface with a pool noodle to make sure no one forgets. You cannot approach a manatee, just wait for them to move around you. Sometimes the Manatees want some interaction and will come right up to you looking for a scratch. This is ok, as long as the manatee starts the interaction and it is free to leave as it chooses.
The manatees also have protected “No human” zones to retreat to if they choose. Mostly the manatees just rest at the surface and generally seem to accept us as strange looking floating manatees.
If you are interested in this type of trip while you are in Florida, Contact American Pro Dive center. They run other spring related snorkel and dive trips as well!

Drift Dive of Rainbow River
We drift dove rainbow river with a tour group, with American Pro Diving Center. We needed to rent a taxi to get out there anyway so we figured we would get one with a guide to show us all the cool stuff. They did not disappoint, but apparently a lot of the time there is not an actual guide in the water but they just give you instructions. They have a license to collect some stuff from the bottom of the river, including fossilized sharks teeth. What I found was apparently part of a turtle shell, but I still have no idea for sure.
It was a gorgeous dive. We went about 500 yards up river from KP Hole and dove the little springs. Maximum depth was 20 ft, and even though it wasn't that deep I wanted to do this dive because I used to snorkel this river all the time with my dad and I wanted the opportunity to go as deep as I only wished I could as a child.
I'm still really bad at being an airhog, as I ended this dive with only a hair above 500 PSI. I just think it is because of being cold (in my 3mm wetsuit) and excited.

Drift-Diving Down the Rainbow River, New Year's 2015, Video No. 5
This is my fifth video of our team drift-diving down the Rainbow River.
Background:
A Lynnhaven Dive Center (Virginia Beach, VA) contingent went diving in Florida around and about Crystal River City south of Gainsville during New Year's week. On New Year's Day our second stop was at K.P. Hole Park on the Rainbow River to hop a pontoon boat that would take us a mile and a quarter upstream for a drift-dive back to a rendezvous point an hour or so later.
Rainbow Springs is the core of Rainbow Springs State Park with numerous vents that issue 400 - 600 million gallons of crystalline water daily and create the Rainbow River, which has great visibility and plenty of underwater wildlife and vegetation. A great dive!
