Not at all Amanda -- the water visability was not as clear as that in Kevin's photo and you knew that the manatees were in the area and might show up soon. I was excited the first time that it happened as it was a case of not there and then - there he was!!!!
When the baby did it, I was thrilled.....but I immediately wanted to find Mamma - 'cause she is protective and yes, a few strokes later and there was Mamma - a few more seconds and there were 10 other divers - so I swam away and took my "bump" postion off the boat....
They don't bite - they may try to "taste" you, but it is like a dog licking you - and a big dog is more bosterious than a manatee.....
