Manatees in Florida, hammerheads in Bimini

[Antoine de Brisbane]

Hi,

 

I am planning a late December trip to Florida and Bimini, 

I am thinking of starting with manatees in crystal river and then flying to Bimini for a few days. 8 days Miami to Miami.

 

Do you think this leaves me enough time to do both?

 

Do you have recommendations regarding operators in both locations?

 

Should I consider staying in Florida and looking for day trips for the shark dives?

 

Any other place(s) you think I should consider?

 

Thank you!
