Whether you are a brand new diver looking for some fun dives or if you've been diving for years and are looking for something unique, this trip will fit the bill. In three days you will see more variety and unique things than a whole week in other places. We will snorkel with manatees, do a drift dive in the crystal clear waters of the Rainbow River and dive one of the most unique diving environments anywhere in Devil's Den.
We will start with a manatee snorkel - you will get up close and personal with a manatee, which is an awe inspiring experience (see video to the right). Next we will do a drift dive in the Rainbow River. The Rainbow River is so clear, sometimes it's hard to tell that you're in water at all. It is fed by an underground aquafir and in places you can see the new spring water 'bubbling' up out of the sand.
Devil's Den is an underground cave with naturally formed swim throughs to explore. It's a great experience for brand new divers and is completely safe, but its also exciting for experienced divers.
