    The manatees are still hanging around Devil's. I was swimming around with one for a couple of minutes yesterday afternoon. Actually, it was doing a little fin hopping across the bottom.

    We were just beginning our dive when it came out of the tannic river water into the run, past the Eye, and then back towards the river. It took its time just cruising around looking for food. It was a small one, I'd guess maybe about 1000 lbs.or less. I've been snorkeling with them before in Crystal River, but it was pretty cool to be on scuba with one in clear water!

    Here are a few pictures I've taken over the years at various sites. I've seen them in the Indian River, off of Sebastian in the ocean, near Orman Beach, and in Blue Spring and Crystal River.
