Hope you get a chance to come and visit Florida again soon!

Hey Alex I love your article you wrote about the manatees. My husband and I offer Private Manatee Tours on a houseboat. We are a little different than most tour operators. We conduct our tours such that it causes no stress on the manatees. We truly love these amazing creatures, we want everyone to fall in love with them so that we may help to protect them. If people learn to care about the Manatees then they will be more cautious as boaters. So if you or anyone you know want to do a trip please pass our name on. We only limit to 6 passengers and avoid the crowds and other packed tour boats.

Thanks,
Rose
Nature Coast Manatee Tours

Okay I will do that! Thanks for the help Alex!

I’m sorry I don’t have more advice for you, but I’ve never tried the Drycase :/ I would be very nervous to put my dSLR in one, though, to be honest. I would try reading the Amazon reviews and see what you think! If it seems like a no-go, maybe you can rent an underwater camera for a day! I’m sure it would be around the same cost as the Drycase, less risky, and more fun! Good luck!

Hi Alex, thanks for the information! I have a Nikon D1300 and I also have a NIkon Coolpix P4. Just because I am on a budget, I would like to try and find a case for my coolpix. I have looked at the Drycase that you can put cameras and iphones into. They are around $50 so they fit the budget, but I do not know much about the product itself. What is your opinion on using the Drycase? Do you know anything about them? I really want great pictures when snorkelling, but I do not want to spend hundreds of dollars at the moment in order to do so. Thoughts?

I am planning on doing this exact same thing when I head to Florida this coming February. I want to be able to take pictures while in the water though, but do not own an underwater camera. Your pictures look AMAZING! What did you use to take your pictures?!

The sunshine and palm tree lifestyle is just for me. I bet it was so much fun to do, I’ve never done it but it’s on my bucket list! Cannot wait for the summer time and my Florida trip! Palm Bay here I come.

Just found it! It will probably take forever to load on my crappy Thailand internet but I think it will be worth it 🙂
