Just love the 3rd photo. Must've been some dives. Excellent shots as always!!

Great pictures as always. The first is perfect with the reflection of the surface.
They look so serene and gentle, it's sad that the clash so often with speedboats.

Must have been fantastic diving, I had heard that where manatees live visibility is normally very poor as they stir up the sand on the bottom with there feeding.

Your photos are great. When I went to Crystal River in July 05 the visibility was terrible. My photos came out looking like faint shapes in a pea soup! Anna

Ken, those shots are beautiful.
In these shots manatees remind me of oversized puppies .
