Has anyone been recently and if so, how long did the drive take please?

Also, for the manatee swim, what footwear should we take please?

Hi I think when we went a couple of years ago getting there in atrocious weather took a couple of hours.
Re footwear on the manatee swim I think we had flip flops for the boat and then everything you need for the swim wetsuits etc We�re provided by the company (Fun2Dive) who were excellent.

Thank you, we�ve also booked with that company so good to hear that they come recommended! I think we will wear water shoes then

Early start for us then!

Has anyone done this with younger kids? Our 7 year old swam with whale sharks last year, so she will be fine. As much as we�d love to do this I�ve told DH to take it off our itinerary for this trip as I don�t think it would be suitable for our 4 year old. However, if anyone has done this with little ones, I�d love to hear.
