Were Can I Swim With crocs or alligators? In ft myers. :D.
 
I hear Australia has some very nice watering holes populated by some playful crocs. By the way, WTF are you thinking?
 
I'm Thinking It Would Be Awsome!!.
 
Have you heard of the Darwin Awards? You could wind up being a nominee.
 
Do a search for a place called "Deep Hole".
It's NE of Ft. Myers, but has a pretty good population in it.
It has a history of being dived, so it is possible to dive and return there.
All reports I have read about this place have really bad VIS.
 
I've lived in Fort Myers for 22 years.I have been diving all that time.It NEVER crossed my mind to try getting in the water,or close to large ones on land.
(1) They can bite while underwater
(2) They can hunt in packs,and do not have a problem sharing their meal
(3) They can camo quite well in mangroves,and many other aquatic plant life
(4) Some are rather large
(5) You can see,and even hold them...at the Imaginarium.Yes,they are still small babies
There is a colony of crocodiles living by the Turkey Point power plant, and there is a wildlife refuge in Key Largo. At the edge of the Everglades, crocodiles live in the brackish waters of the Florida Bay. As theses areas become polluted, or drained by man, the crocodiles become endangered.

When diving near salt water crocs,or alligators...it is always best to wear clean underwear.
