    Scuba with FL manatee Thanksgiving week?

    I am spending Thanksgiving week (22nd-29th, could extend a day or 2) in Clearwater, FL visiting relatives and would like to go diving with the manatee while there. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where and with whom I should dive? Does anyone want to go with me? I have snorkeled with the manatee in Crystal River (I think it was) many years ago but not scuba. I will have all my own gear with me. Kind regards, jsfitz

    I think that diving with the manatees is against the law in Florida - It's a snorkel only thing.

    The folks to check with are:

    manatee

    you can only snorkel with them, and not go under water to disturb them. This is enforced.
