You never know what you might find on a manatee tour! Yesterday not only did we swim with the Manatees, we also had the pleasure of meeting this young Osprey. The osprey nest had fallen and this guy jumped on our boat to hang out for a bit 😁🩵 Thank you Captain Aaron and Dive Master Laura for keeping him safe for a while. 🙌

☀March Manatee Update!! ☀
We have been experiencing some lovely warm weather here in Crystal River! As a result, the manatees are taking the opportunity to go out into the Gulf of Mexico to feed. This is really wonderful news for our beloved manatee! They have been couped up here in Kings Bay all winter!

Hurricane Idalia heavily disrupted our aquatic ecosystems this last year which left little grass in the bay for the manatees to feed on during the winter. Because of this the manatee population that usually stays here in Kings Bay during the warmer weather, have gone off on an adventure to find some food. Fortunately, researchers have determined the root systems are still in place for new grass to grow, but it will take some time.

As friends of manatees, we are very happy they have this opportunity to get out into the Gulf of Mexico currently and get the food they need. However, this means manatee sightings on our tours have been very low. We are still running tours here in Kings Bay and are having a great time swimming in the springs. On our tours we spend ample time searching for the manatees and will check around the bay where they may be hanging out but can offer no guarantees. If you have further questions, we are happy to answer them and can be reached at 352-795-5797. We want to be clear about conditions and brief you all on our current situation as best we can. We will continue to update as conditions may change.
