Swimming with Florida manatees
outdoortravelchannel.tv - Endangered Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) are present in Kings Bay's warm, spring-fed waters year-round; in winter, though, their numbers swell substantially as they seek refuge from the Gulf of Mexico's chilly waters. Crystal River operators offer swimming/snorkelling tours to sites such as Three Sisters Springs, where clear waters provide a magnificent opportunity to view these aquatic mammals in their natural habitat.
In March 2012, the US Fish and Wildlife Service established a manatee refuge in the waters of Kings Bay, including its tributaries and connected waters. Prohibited activities include:
(i) Chasing or pursuing manatees
(ii) Disturbing or touching a resting or feeding manatee(s).
(iii) Diving from the surface onto a resting or feeding manatee(s).
(iv) Cornering or surrounding or attempting to corner or surround a manatee(s).
(v) Riding, holding, grabbing, or pinching or attempting to ride, hold, grab, or pinch a manatee(s).
(vi) Poking, prodding, or stabbing or attempting to poke, prod, or stab a manatee(s) with anything, including your hands and feet.
(vii) Standing on or attempting to stand on a manatee(s).
(viii) Separating a mother and calf or attempting to separate a mother and calf.
(ix) Separating a manatee(s) from a group or attempting to separate a manatee(s) from a group.
(x) Giving a manatee(s) anything to eat or drink or attempting to give a manatee(s) anything to eat or drink.
(xi) Actively initiating contact with a belted and/or tagged manatee(s) and associated gear, including any belts, harnesses, tracking devices, or antennae.
(xii) Interfering with rescue and research activities.

Crystal River Manatee Trip, April 2014
Who knew that April was the worse time to see manatees in Crystal River, Florida?? Regardless, Captain Steve with Bird's Dive Center put us in the water with the gentle giants just a few minutes from the dock. After that great experience, we went to Three Sisters Spring for a sublime experience swimming in the literally-crystal-clear waters of the spring.

Crystal Manatees - Florida Manatee Wildlife
First - thanks so much for watching this video! Second - thanks even more for SUBSCRIBING!
This was filmed on one amazing day in Three Sisters Springs, Crystal River, Florida. The music is by my good friends Human Agency ( currently blowing up the Denver music scene.
This day was a dream, this trip was serendipitous...every step fell into place like clockwork.
Despite manatees not being commonly seen in the area for months, the one day I show up to Crystal River so do the sea cows. I saw huge males, tiny babies, and playful teenage manatees all in Three Sisters Springs at the same time. I also interacted with the fauna of the ecosystem, including snappers, bluegills, and cormorants, who were busy hunting fish.
This experience stands out as one of my favorite wildlife encounters to date. The manatees are so friendly, and genuinely seem to appreciate your company. They eagerly seek out belly-rubs and scratches in the same way my dog does. It was so much fun hanging out with them. Unfortunately, I also saw scars on the backs of nearly every manatee in the springs. The animals get hurt or killed from run-ins with boats in the Florida waterways. Only 5,000 or so of these amazing animals remain in the wild.
This was filmed with GoPro Hero2 and Hero3 cameras, filmed at either 1080p or 2.7k, 30fps, using the ProTune setting. All filming and editing was done by William Drumm. Editing was in GoPro CineForm Studio and Final Cut Pro X. For stock footage please inquire at bill@williamdrumm.com
