Gabby and Gavin were amazing guides. We were able to swim with the manatees and had a blast!!!!! Both Gabby and Gavin have a great knowledge of the manatees and a passion for what they do. It was a great family adventure and we had a lot of fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Captain Gavin & our guide Neil were amazing! We found a mama and baby manatee quickly and swam around them for the duration—- we had a few minutes left after mama and her babe swam off from us- and went spring driving! I highly recommend Fun 2 Swim!

Captain Gavin and Guide Zac were absolutely great - friendly and so informative. Would definitely book this trip again with Gavin and Zac. An absolutely perfect day. Thankyou so much

Manatee-mazing experience! Zac and Garrett are the best, 10/10 recommend them for the tour. We found manatees quickly, got in the water fast, clear instructions on how to stay safe and keep the manatees safe, made sure everyone in the group stayed safe at all times (esp my 9yr old). We got to spend time with 4 manatees in the water, once they moved on we went to the natural spring here manatees aren’t normally found (group decision), SURPRISE tho! There were a few manatees, fish, 2 fresh water springs, and more! It was an amazing trip, we couldn’t be happier, and I’m so glad we got to have the opportunity experience we did. Zac and Garrett were knowledgeable, efficient, and worth every cent! P.S. Captain Garrett makes the BEST hot chocolate at the end of the tour, my child is still raving about it!

Captain Ryan and Storm were incredibly amazing. The wealth of knowledge and professionalism they adhered to landed us an awesome spot where we were able to view a large mother with her baby and a male al in one small space. How they handles are family and the customer service they provided were second to none! This business is a definite recommendation and we will be back for sure! Thank you all so much! Military friendly as well!

We had the most amazing experience with Fun2Dive. Our guide, Zack, and our boat captain, Brody, were just wonderful. They were both very engaging with our three kids and they spent time answering any and all of their questions. Zack and Brody gave us an experience of a lifetime-they located a mom and her calf and we were able to observe them in the springs for over an hour. We are so thankful for the experience and will definitely come back when we are back in FL.
