Kids Manatee Education Programs

Embark on an educational journey with American Pro Diving Center, where we explore the history, habitat, behavior, anatomy, and laws governing our gentle giants, the Florida manatees. Students have the unique opportunity to encounter these friendly creatures in their natural habitat, gaining insights into every facet of manatees and the water they call home. Our center ensures a seamless experience by providing all necessary equipment for this remarkable encounter. At American Pro Diving Center, we believe that manatee protection begins with education!

Designed to develop student knowledge of aquifers and how spring systems form and originate. While snorkeling in an aquatic environment students will learn about a spring fed ecosystem. (Vegetation, Fish, Birds, Turtles, and Humans) Explanation are given of why fossils like shells, pieces of coral, and ancient sharks teeth can be found and where they originate. Preservation of water quality and conservation of Florida springs is achieved through education.
