Manatee Feeding at Three Sisters Springs

 

What at hit these manatee trips have been! Come join Surface Interval for an afternoon of snorkeling with the manatees of Crystal River!

These gentle giants move into the warm waters of King's Bay once ocean temperatures drop below 70 degrees.  They spend their days grazing and basking in the crystal clear spring water.

This is a great way to spend the day having fun in the sun and a great way to introduce your friends and family to the "good life" that is snorkeling and scuba diving.
