Trip to Clearwater Florida...

You shouldn't have a hard time seeing a MANATEE in CRYSTAL RIVER. You may also want to get you a feeshin pole while your here, they say the mouth of the river has been LOADED with fish after the recent cold fronts. And bring LOTS of bug spray, prefferably the stuff that is almost pure deet. The mosquitos can be tolerated, but the no see-ums will make it unbearable at certain times of the day.

I went divin' the Crystal River several years ago day and night and ain't seen a Manatee yet...not disappointed though...the trip was great!! There's a HUGE HOLE we took the boat to for a day...can't recall it's name, but a great dive w/ some caves at bottom...

Not far to the south of CRYSTAL RIVER is HOMOSSASSA SPRIGS, they do daily tours there for manatee watching and what not. If your going to be up there, the CHASSOWITZKA RIVER is a REALLY nice place to go and see if you have time. And CEDAR KEY isn't far to the north along with FANNING SPRINGS on the SUWANEE RIVER. That is the part of the state that the developers haven't COMPLETELY F@CKED UP YET. Still alot of natural FLORIDA beauty left to be seen up there. And if nothing else you'll get to see one of the early NUCLEAR power plants up there as well.
