We just finished another fantastic Manatee excursion with Bird’s Underwater, lead by Captain Loupe and Divemaster/Videographer Brian. I’ve been diving and snorkeling with them since 1989, and the reason I stick with Bird’s is because they are the best. Their trip coordination and attention to detail, along with their safety standards, and passion for the animal world, makes them second to none. I highly recommend them.
