Out of the headspring basin and down river. Once we started the show we had up to 10 divers in the basin at all times with glass-bottom boats and other boat traffic above so there was far too much commotion to suit the gator. We did have a manatee wander into the basin on the second day but it took one look at all the knife fights going on and quickly lumbered back down river.
Salt water / fresh water - don't mater to me, no chance of them eating this guy!!
My son and I went looking for them one day up by the water treatment plant on a scooter - we pretty much scared ourselves into leaving without seeing one.
Crocodile in the Alegro pool - OMG LMAO, feel sorry for the guy that got bit though. How was your vacation? Well I got hammered and at three in the morning went for a dip in the pool and a dang crocodile bit me in the head!!

That's probably a really cool experience.
You ever hear of Timothy Treadwell? The guy took his girlfriend Amie up to see the grizzly bears that he had been hanging around with all these years - I bet that was really cool too - right up till the point one of the bears ate them.
I think I'll skip any snorkeling with the crocodile experience myself
Docile or not, they get hungry. I don't know why sharks don't freak me out at all but alligators and crocodiles give me the heebie jeebies. I dove with one in a cenote and so long as he was up on his rock, no big deal. As soon as he slipped into the water, my brain went into "get the **** out" mode.

Dang, we will be at the Allegro in a couple weeks, I will definitely be checking out what's in the pool before I jump in and taking the flashlight on those late night walks on the beach!
Everyone: SEA HUNT FOREVER!!!!!!Not Coz, but this guy (gator, not croc I believe) was hanging out at the base of the entry stairs to the basin at Silver Springs, Florida last March on the first day of the Sea Hunt Forever Show. Had to get the rangers to shoo it away before we could dive.

They see alligator.....
Everyone: WAIT...EPISODE 42 IS ON TV IN THE BAR.....
sound of double hose rigs, oval masks, and BFK's hitting the ground(gently).... followed by fins slapping the ground hurriedly as everyone duck walks to the bar in true Monty Python fashion.
Mike Nelson would have strapped on the BFK and made wallets and purses for the crew....
I'm sure it's funnier in my head that it actually was, but the voices in my head are pretty funny anyway.
Hijack over, now back to the man snacking crocs of Cozumel. Maybe the little feller didn't like the taste of watered down cheap tequila!!!
Safe travels all, see you on the reefs.

Nothing new now. They have been swimming in the salt water occasional since I came here in 92. Sometimes come up on the beaches and now that there are so many beach resorts encounters occur more frequently. Never have I heard of anyone being seriously harmed, but a few lost dogs…just like Houston.
