Manatee tours

We are thinking of heading over to Chrystal River to swim with the Manatees in May. There are a few companies that provide tours, just wondering if any of you Dibbers have done this, is it worth the trip and which tour company would you recommend?
Cheers.

We have twice with River Ventures well worth it but in May youmight not see any as itlate in the season

We used Fun2Dive in Crystal River and did the VIP boat (max party of 6 and includes memory stick with photos and drinks and snacks). They were a great company and I�d have no hesitation in recommending them. However as Gryff says, May is very late in the season, so you run quite a high risk of not seeing much as the water is too warm then.
