We had a wonderful time and were treated to hours in the water with those beautiful manatees. Don does his best to make sure everyone has a good time and is not in a rush to get back to shore. This was my second trip with them and hope to make it again next year. Deb More

Wonderful manatee encounter! Amazing to watch the manatees play and come over to us for a back rub. Captain Don was knowledgeable and friendly. He even let us camp on his property the night before. Captain Don's wife used our camera and took great photos. More

Don and his wife were wonderful. Their funky shop where you meet has charming whimsical fiberglass sculptures that Don made himself. Although we were the only 2 on our particular trip they gave us all the time in the world and Don was informative, interesting and so patient with us as we slowly got used to the water. One great...

We had a WONDERFUL morning with Air Tank Divers Manatee Tours. Capt. Don is a wealth of information and made sure we all had a great time. I understand that at other times of year there are hundreds of manatee in the area we were - today with the dozen or so we saw and the experiences we had were... More

Went out on a tour with Capt. Don who is a very interesting guy, also very knowledgeable about manatees. Had a great time! The tours are small and there really is no time limit as to how long you get to stay in the water and play. I would highly recommend Air Tank Divers. More

We went on this tour with my four year old grandson. He was so thrilled to be in the water with the manatees and actually petted them. His smile and laughter throughout the tour made for a perfect trip! Not only was this fun, it was informative. Capt. Don and his wife, Elisa, provided us with stories and information only... More

Don and his wife provide a fantastic, intimate experience with the manatees on the very uncrowded Homosassa River. Further, Don limits his groups to only six persons maximum and provides a second boat for groups up to 12. There are only four licensed tour boats on this river as opposed to 30 boats on Crystal River. Swimming with these gentle... More

As reported in a previous review, the outer cover of the book is a bit rough, but the genuine care and desire to please comes through in spades during the tour. My wife, my 12 year old son, and 10 year old daughter all had a remarkable day. Captain Don is a fascinating individual, and taught the kids all kinds... More

This is a great tour. I have been on other tours and this one is by far the best. It goes out at a great time so I have a better chance of an up close encounter. Capt Don and his wife are very friendly and they are very reasonably priced. On the tour they offer free hot cocoa, coffee,... More
