Manatee Tour

A manatee tour experience with all the comforts a five star facility has to offer. American Pro Diving and Snorkel Center in Crystal River, Fla. tours successful Manatee Tours for both the snorkel and diver over 17 years. Our in water guides are just one of several reasons making us the most professional organization in the area. Preservation through hands on education is our goal and the guides assist with anyone new to snorkeling or diving not only on and off the boat but also in the water. We have the honor of being awarded the National Geographic Dive Center Award from PADI and National Geographic, and many other awards from state and local educational systems because of our manatee tour programs.

Why our Manatee Tours are so Successful

A unique and successful snorkel manatee tour comes from education on how to interact with the manatee and the guides extensive in water experience gives you just that. Our guides are trained to PADI dive master level or higher both in water skills and environmental knowledge. The dive master educates on the manatees and the manners of being in the water with them while on your manatee snorkel. They enter the water with you so that both you and the Manatees have an enjoyable time on this experience of a lifetime. This in water snorkel experience is sometimes new to family members that do not have very many chances to snorkel. Our guides are very accommodating on the trip and assist new snorkelers so everyone enjoys this experience. Also available on your trip are the memories that we video in water and make a DVD upon the return to the store. This makes for a great gift to show others of your wonderful trip.

If you are ready to take the next step from snorkeling then try Discover Scuba or Scuba Diving. Discover Scuba is offered in the afternoon and is the perfect way to try scuba without committing to a certification class. Our PADI Scuba Diving Course can be done in just 2 days, and receive a PADI Open Water Certification. So come to a beautiful place on the nature coast and see what Crystal River has to offer.

Snorkel with Manatee & Dive Combo Tour in Crystal River

The question arises whether you can snorkel with the manatee or dive? The answer is our Crystal River combo tour which offers both the manatee snorkel then a guided dive at Kings Spring. Manatees eat and sleep at the bottom of the springs and snorkeling at the surface allows them to come to us if so desired. They are very curious and playful usually wanting a gentile belly rub. Because this trip is offered all year round our combo gives divers of the family a guided dive so there is something for everyone. While the divers dive the snorkeler can snorkel the dive site to see different types of fish. During the winter months we have two locations adding the Homosassa snorkel tours, so call 1-800-291-3483 to see which trip is best for your family.

Waterfront Lodging at the Docks

The snorkel with manatees are early in the morning because this is when they are most active and playful . So that both you and your family do not have to drive a long distance early in the morning may we suggest staying the night before at Seagrass River Resort. Offering cottages or villa style lodging with a pub and restaurant on site over looking the Homosassa Springs. The view of the water with the evening sun sets just adds to your relaxing vacation.

What to do after the Morning Trips

Make a days stay with us to snorkel or dive the Rainbow River just after lunch. This beautiful Florida spring offers crystal clear spring water with lots of fish, turtles and an easy drift down the river. What a way to end the day and the memories are sure to put a smile on everyone's face. So you don't miss out on any experiences while you're here please call our toll Free 1-800-291-3483 number to find out all options while you visit the Greater Nature Coast in Florida.
