5.00Our experience was on April 3 with Ryan. Ryan and the captain worked hard for us in finding a manatee to have a close-up experience with. It was really amazing get up close to such a calm and peaceful animal. The great surprise was the photos that Ryan got of a mother and pup that we not able to swim with and finally with the manatee that we spent about 10 minutes swimming along with. Thanks for such a fun day!

5.00American Pro Diving was an awesome company. TJ, Abby and Guy were professional and engaging from start to finish. Their customer service was second to none from the start when we took a wrong turn and were running late to the awesome pictures/videos I purchased at the end of the experience. Amazing experience, amazing prices and exceptional customer service. Thank you guys.

4.00You are going to see a lot of manatee! And up close. The area is very congested with kayaks, boats and snorkelers so you need to be ok with that
