No manatee mosh pit - Captain Ryan and Ryan (Pippi) were excellent. Friendly , relaxed , very knowledgeable and mindful of maintaining the manatee habitat.

Snorkeling fun - This is a great experience to be up close to a manatee, they truly are gentle giants. We did not have the thousands that come here in the winter but the mom and calf we followed around were so darn cute. We are definitely planning a winter trip to go back and snorkel with these giants of the sea.

Fantastic Experience! - Sooo much fun! Aiden, the captain, was very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. He made sure we were able to anchor near manatees! Rick was also great! He guided us out to swim with the manatees. He was friendly and kind. We were able to swim with four manatees on our trip! Definitely glad we chose American Pro Diving Center!

Swimming with the manatees!!! - Aidan and Ryan were the best! They gave us great recommendations of restaurants and places around Crystal River to visit. We were not staying in the area, but will definitely be back to visit and will use American Pro for future excursions.

5 Stars - Incredible Experience - ! We had an amazing time snorkeling and scalloping in Crystal River FL with Dirty Mike and Orville! From start to finish, they made the ezperience fun, safe, and unforgettable. They shared a ton of useful info about the area - local history, marine life, and the best scalloping spots and made sure everyone was safe, comfortable and taken care of. You can tell they really care about what they do. Whether you’re a first timer or experienced. I’d absolutely recommend booking with them. Thanks again for an awesome day on the water!

Awesome adventure on the bay - R and Rodney were awesome. They were very committed to showing us a great time. It was obvious they were very knowledgeable about the bay, sealife, and entertained all of our questions.
