Diver Debbie |
Wow! What the heck are all those snorkelers looking for?? |
Debbie thinks she can walk on the water. |
Captain Chris is also the divemaster, also the video person. She shot 40 minutes of video of our experience. When we returned to the dive shop, they played it on the big screen. Everyone hadda buy one! |
Oh! That's what they were all looking for! Manatees! |
A face only a mother could love. The people at Bird's Underwater say this is manatee flossing behavior. |

Wow! This puffer fish shows up everywhere we go! |
Banks of the Crystal River. The manatees come here in the winter, when the ocean gets a bit cold for them. They go to the freshwater springs and hang out, because they think 72 degree water is much more comfortable. We, on the other hand, were a bit cold.... |
Debbie warms up after a SCUBA dive into the Three Sisters Spring underwater cave. |
Check out the size of that firepit! It's actually deeper than it looks, cause they haven't cleaned out the ash for a while. They do that with a backhoe. |

Here we are! Thought we would never get here, but the ride on the flat bed truck ended 40 feet from this sign. |
We hadda go see the Gulf since we were only about 10 miles away. |
Original opening to the cavern at Devil's Den. That's the dive deck which leads to the platforms. How deep do you think the water is?? |
