manatee snorkeling/diving

i was thinking on the way back from dominica, we may go through miami. Any info on the manatee divig nearby, and suggestions?

Depending on when you'll be in the Miami area, you might not have the best chances of finding manatee. Most of the manatee diving/snorkeling takes place north of Tampa around Crystal River area. The manatees are inland in the rivers and springs during the winter months when the waters are warmer than the sea water. During the summer, they move out into the bays into the warmer salt water where they're harder to find.

I'm not sure about the Miami area though, but you may be able to find a dive op that can help you out with manatee trips.

Thanks for the info
