Manatee Dive 1/13/08


Videos
Here's one I was taking of a manatee who got real curious and actually came and got under me and nudged and rolled me real good :eyebrow:

Will, i'm not sure i like this new camera of yours.... .....it's 30 degrees here and you keep sending all these great Florida dive pics!!!!

no really, Thanks for sharing, it gives us hope!

(birds was a great trip for us back in Oct, even though the manatees were few... lot of fun, and the springs were incredible. )

Will, the video of you with the curious Manatee was seriously cool!! Have to agree with jwdizney as I'm confined up here where it's winter where the only diving I'm doing is in my head! Seriously, great pics and video. Thanks for sharing and brightening a cold winter night.

Now you did it, I'm jealous, it's -6 and the wind chill is down to -24. The thought of diving with a manatee was about the furthest thing from my mind. Great video and pics
