Crystal River

Crystal River, Florida is located approximately 80 miles northwest of Tampa. It is a beautiful, pristine place. I have been fortunate enough to swim with the manatees. They are magnificent, peaceful creatures who are worth protecting.

		About to dive in at King's Bay, the head spring at Crystal River.
		My friend Liz right outside Three Sisters Springs. She loves having her picture taken.
		View of Banana Island from my hotel room at Port Paradise resort. King's Bay is right to the left of this island. Everything you could ever want is at Port Paradise. You can rent boats, wet suits, scuba gear, and best of all . . . there is a Tiki Bar!!!
