  Amazing tour! Got to see a baby, a mama and a random male. We were able to get close, learn the rules, and enjoy the gentle giants. The tour captains, Mariah and Jerry were awesome..Mariah helped me with my two boys, ages 6 and 8 and helped them get a good view. It was an amazing experience and I can't wait to do it again.

  I have done other snorkeling events in my life but none compare to getting to swim with manatees. We were able to get very close to a mom and baby manatee. The baby was very curious and came over to us while we were swimming in the water. The guide did a great job of making sure we were able to get the best opportunity to get up close to the manatee and we had a good amount of time swimming in the water with them. It was an incredible experience.

  We took the 8:30 Manatee snorkel and the Blue Grotto and Devil's Den tours in mid August. We were surprised by how many manatee we saw being that it is late summer. The Blue Grotto and Devil's Den dive trips was our families first spring dives. So clear! I will certainly be back next year for their other dives.

  My wife and were just here for one of our honeymoon adventures. Swam with the manatees and did the rainbow river tour. I would highly recommend this place. We had an amazing time and all the staff is very friendly. Special shout out to our guide Marlin, he is very helpful and knowledgeable. We felt right at home! Thanks again for an unforgettable honeymoon experience!

  Very nice and well stocked dive center. We did two dives with them one to Manatee Springs Phil was our dive-master great guy and you are in very capable hands. The second was with Josh looking for manatees to snorkel with. It was summer and very few manatees were there but he worked very hard to find some, we got to swim with and touch a mother and her baby. To see manatees I recommend going between Nov. and March when they come into the springs to stay warm, and go at low tide for better visibility.

  This is one of the best dive shops in Crystal River. The staff are there to help your every need for a wonderful experience on the water and in the water with the Manatees. They have a wonderful shop with an indoor pool for learning to scuba dive. The owner is an awesome person who will make sure everything runs smoothly. The Boat Captains are all capable of making sure you have a good experience on their boats. Give them a try to see what I am talking about.

  My son and I finished our referral dives with American Pro Diving over spring break. Josh was a great instructor, VERY patient, and went the extra mile to help my son with things he had trouble with. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to learn to dive.
  We enjoyed our experience so much that we returned 3 days later with wife and daughter in tow and swam with the Manatees!
  Phil was our guide/videographer for the day, and did a great job finding some manatees on a difficult day. A previous storm and an especially high tide combined to give less than ideal conditions. Phil found us a great spot to observe a momma/baby manatee, and everyone got the chance to see them up close while avoiding the crowds from other boats.
  It was my wife and daughter's favorite part of spring break.
  
  Thanks Josh and Phil for a great experience.
