Fun2Dive was very lacking

1.00We had a 3 hour tour with Neal and Ryan on Monday April 6th. The tour was actually only 2 hours, not sure why we did not get what we paid for. We were taken to a very murky destination, not sure why. We noticed other tours had clear water experiences, for ours, unless a manatee swam 12 inches in front of your face, you could not see them. We had done a manatee excursion before with another company and it was 1000 percent different. My husband reached out to the company, as did I but we did not hear anything from them. My advice would be to go with another company.
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00Aubrey was a great guide, very informative and knowledgeable. Alex was a great captain and could spot the mantees a mile away.
Murky waters made this a disappointment

2.00Their facilities were good, people friendly, yet the experience we had gets one star at best. Once we got into the water, we could see nothing, I mean not even your feet. Murky isn’t the word. A few less confident snorkellers on the tour struggled with this for a while. When we did get close to a manatee, we had to get really close (3 feet), and with a dozen snorkellers all vying to see Manatee in the murky waters, it went against the vibe of being able to watch & observe but not interfere. Apparently conditions were like that for a while, but of course, like many I booked because the name Crystal Springs and the crystal clear photos which tell a different story to what we experienced. Advice I would give before booking, is to phone them and ask them honestly what visibility conditions are like.
You Will Not Regret It!

5.00We got lucky and were able to see 5+ manatees during our time on this adventure! Truly, an experience of a lifetime. The Captain and Tour Guide had hot chocolate on board after we returned from the water, which was absolutely necessary as I am a naturally cold individual! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
Super fun! The team is...

5.00Super fun! The team is kind, knowledgeable and safe! We had the best day with Storm and Alex leading the journey! Swimming with the Manatee is an experience we will never forget! Hands down worth every penny and more!

5.00This experience was breathtaking. Storm was our guide and he lead with clear, kind expectations. I had the opportunity to swim above and right next to manatees. So amazing. They are so gentle and huge! I also snorkeled the 3 Sister Springs. It was an amazing morning. If you’re just thinking about doing it. Do it!!!

5.00Wetsuit, snorkels and masks included. (If you’ve never worn a wetsuit before, give yourself grace!!) Short shuttle ride to dock then short boat ride to manatees. Drift in the water and enjoy the view! Our guide was Shelby, our captain was Ryan. They’re both great!
