They never answer the phone, Once I got a hold of them I made a reservation.... We drove 2 hours to get there to find out they 'didnt have the reservation' and it was our fault because they 'have a fool proof system for reservations' which includes scribbling your name down on a giant calendar from the 90's and transcribing...

The dive shop itself looks like a shack but it's actually ok inside. The staff was friendly, but they weren't very helpful. Captain Jolly and his little boy were a hoot but after awhile Rodger Dale needs a sleeping pill( the kid is crazy). We only saw a couple of manatees and hardly were close enough to touch them. I...

What a great excursion!! Although the manatees were elusive today we did see and swim with a few! What a great place! Captain Ross was fantastic! Three sisters spring was something else!! A must see! I would love to come back again in the winter months when the the manatee population is at its highest!

I definitely recommend Adventure Diving. I've gone snorkeling with manatees with a different company and Adventure Diving beat them hands down. For one thing, their experienced captain (who was very friendly) took us to 4 different locations searching for manatees instead of just sitting at 3 sisters. It's end of season so we weren't that sure if we'd even see... More

For those who complained about the timing, etc., relax. This is FL and you're about to swim with the manatee. The boat was wheelchair accessible but getting on was a challenge because the tide was low. They made every effort to get my husband's 300 lb electric wheelchair on board and he had a great time. We're at the end... More

We travelled to Crystal River from The Villages just for this tour and it didnt disappoint! There were others scheduled on our boat (4/9/13) but they didn't show, so we had a private tour with Captn "Jolly" Rodger - who was the BEST! He not only educated us about the manatees, but it being slightly "off" manatee season, he knew... More

The first tour I booked was cancelled because of a storm, but they were really helpfull and managed to find a date while I was still in Florida. I had bought a voucher for my dad and me. My husband and baby were planning to... More

To start with the business stated they do not take reservations but could accommodate us and it would be first come first served. I called on the way and again we were told we could be accommodated. When we arrived they were disorganized and we had to stand in line multiple times. They then charged us ten dollars for the... More

We we were fortunate to have Captain Dave. He stopped at a place in the channel where manatees have been known to linger. He was correct. We had only 6 people on our boat. We found a pod if manatees that needed our affection. They rolled over for us to rub their belly. Nudged us for attention. We would tour... More
