Oh, the sea cow in the hot springs, Florida, USA
Florida has the most outstanding dive sites in the continental United States, with more than 1,000 miles of coastline, 20 unique underwater areas, hundreds of dive sites, and countless dive shops that provide equipment and organize guided dives.
In Florida, even manatees can be afraid of the cold, especially in winter, so the warm spring pools in the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge have become an important habitat for West Indian manatees.
There are more than 30 natural spring pools here, and the water temperature is maintained at 22 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit) all year round, which is very suitable for the survival of this endangered species. Manatees don’t like the air bubbles created by scuba diving, so a leisurely snorkeling swim is the best option for getting up close and personal with manatees.
Swimmers are advised to wear a wetsuit, although the water is warm, but not warm. The curiosity and ability to deal with manatees will surprise you.
Tips
Come here from mid-October to mid-March, during the cold winter season, when up to 400 manatees gather around the warm springs
