Taste like beef, they are not native to Florida, they are cute, love swimming with them. The babies are adorable

thanks for all the underwater footage, especially the underneath view. and it's good to see you doing things with your mom.stay safe, summer is on the way

Awww how adorable was that baby manatee very nice video baby girl 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great video!!! I like the sea cows, they move so graceful in the water..

Great vid Kelly. Love the manatee's. It's also amazing how some species of fish can survive in fresh and salt water.

"Let's go barefoot!" You've become a true BlueGabbi accolyte. 😂 Awesome video, Kelly!

The Manatee heard that Kelly Young was coming to town!

Great video Kelly nice to see your mom in the video have a great time

That looked like a pretty awesome day. Very cool that they let you swim that close to them.

Manatee is such a sweet and gentle animal.

Those things are so big but so gentle. I liked the view you show from under water. Nice to see a young one as well. It shows the manatee is doing well and not too stressed from lack of food or harrassment from people. 👍👍

Love the Manatees!!

I'm from Maryland and visited the springs about a month ago. Boated down the same canal. We have property that will take you to the springs by boat down stream. Love to see it

Kelly seeing mama manatee and baby manatee must have been such a lovely moment swimming along side both of them and getting great video footage awesome work kelly❤❤😀😀💋💋

Good Video Kelly. Always a plus to have mom with you ( plus you can put her to work paddling).

Thank you for this. Amazing footage!

Awesome job, Kelly!❤️❤️

I swam with probably about 20 of them in manatee springs, coolest experience ever! Although they didn’t do any tricks for me! This winter was our first time ever checking out the springs and we loved it!

Nice to have the solitude that diving gives you guys...you don't have to contend with the surface traffic or the murky water. What a nice and peaceful atmosphere :-)

Beautiful for water awesome trip with your mom! I’m going there this coming Spring I cannot wait! Beautiful animal!🤙

Great video Kelly, now I see where you get your looks from. you have a gorgeous mom! Y’all stay safe and God Bless!

Kelly loved the video of you spending some quality time with your mam laughing and jokeing about your mams paddling skills and then seeing your favourite animal under water a baby manatee witch was so cute ❤❤😀😀💋💋

Great video!! Love the manatee!!! Your living the life! Thanks for bringing us along!!

Once again Kelly brought us another awesome video. Totally different and educational. Thanks for sharing .

I skipped at Hernando Jr High in 8th grade, with my best friend, to ride our bikes there decades ago. That place is awesome. I live up north now, but can't wait to go back.

Nice and beautiful snorkeling! In Brazil we have another species of those gentle mammals. Great!

Yay! ANOTHER Kelly episode...commenting before I watch too!

WOW! I never realized that manatees were all muscle, that explains why they are always looking for warmer waters.

Last time I was there was 1975. None of those houses were near the water. One fishing shack on stilts over the main spring. The guy that lived there invited us in for lunch and treated us like he had known us for life. One of my fondest memories of livin in FL. Water was much clearer then as well. Main spring had three holes and looked like a bowling ball.

Great video. We have been there. Grandpa lived off 19 close to Hudson. It was a favorite to visit spring break .

Can’t wait to get back to Florida. Great videos. Hi From England.

Ate at upper deck few years ago, was in FL visiting my brother. I live in TX. First time I saw a manatee and baby swim through by the park and restaurant area I was just like WOW it is beautiful in that erea. Then we all went to a spot that was popular for its sunsets on the ocean. Best fun ever! ♥️'d it.

That was cool to see . All those Snappers no wonder there a little hard to find in the saltwater there all here . Thank for sharing Kelly

I really love these style videos and your mom was a bonus❤Awesome footage Kelly and best to you and Bluegabe🙏

Wonderful nature excursion. Appreciate you Kelly and Mom. Wonderful trip and great footage.

Sweet video Kelly, keep on keepin on...

far out its always an amazing feeling to see rare marine mammals. underwater shots were amazing as

Thank you kelly😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Dear Kelly, what a beautiful and placid place is the one that has shown us, what beautiful creatures the manatees are, in any case you and your mother are also beautiful, thank you very much for sharing, bless you and your mother, and take good care of yourself

Love this video! Glad you’re out enjoying life Kelly!

Good evening Kelly and Family Nice peaceful day spent with mom ❤️ Awesome Manatees are cool 😊 I remember when I was about 8 or 9 the first time I ever had a encounter with a manatee in Ft.lauderdale we were fishing from the bank and what looked like a covert sticking out from the bank and I stepped out on it and it was a manatee and he or she backed out from the bank and in the water i went hehehehe lol but the manatee was fine and swam away 😋 Y’all take care always 🤠❤️😘 Love Y’all

What up kelly!!! Glad to have a video today

Kelly, what an amazing video those shots are incredible. They you are making videos that look professional and are captivating, amazing work, you are creating amazing art!

Kelly I just wanted to tell you that I had a family emergency yesterday afternoon and have literally been on the phone almost ever since my anxiety was thru the roof I hadn't eaten yet today and once I finally got a moment all I wanted to do was to make sum food and sit and watch this video of yours that I hadn't watched yet so I heated up sum spaghetti my favorite comfort food and sat and watched your video. I feel Soooo relaxed now my point of telling you all this is that I just absolutely Love your videos. I will be moving to FL in a few years so I can live a similar life free diving and fishing an such and you are such a kind wonderful person. I just wanted to tell you that you made me feel SO Much better through my hard time today. Thank You for all you do

I'm Sorry to hear that as well. That is very true though. Unless you've experienced it you just really can not relate. I'm so glad everything is working out well for you :0) Gabe is such a silly person I Love seeing you guys together its really great. Well I have Family in Key West, Orlando, and Palm Springs so I really haven't decided yet. My uncle lives in Orlando he was a voice over for a few of the rides at Universal Studios for like 30years which is pretty cool but my Aunt passed away last year (his wife)so I might go somewhere around that area. Not 100% sure yet though I still have time to decide. All I know is for the longest time I've wanted to move out there and live off the Ocean. It'll be a few years yet but I'm sure you'll be continuing to grow on here all the way up until then and after so I'll probably be hitting you up for advice on my dive gear and everything surrounding it when I get there :0) I can't wait. I learned how to swim when I was 2 and haven't looked back lolll being in/at the Ocean is by far my favorite place to be

Many times when we go Florida we go to Blue Springs State Park. It's loaded with Manatees, Tarpon and Redfish.

Love the OG Kelly content (fun loving and with your mum too!!!!)please continue to do more with your mom as it’s one of the things that may me sub to your channel 🤙🤙🤙

Kelly love your lit videos Stay Safe Out There

That place is called "Hospital Hole" aka fish hospital. There's an interesting legend about the sick and weary fish coming up river for refuge. I've lived in Spring Hill the past 20 years and still never get tired of diving hospital hole and paddling the Weeki Wachee (Seminole for "Little Spring, Winding River").

Mullet = fish tacos!! That spring looks so beautiful, thank you for sharing!

Nice 👍 really enjoyed watching. I miss your diving videos!

This place you fish is wonderful, it has many beautiful fish, your fishing was good, congratulations you are a great fisherman!👍🎣

Yessss!!!!!!! You make my day

The shot i really liked Started @8:16...Cue'd the music, the school of fish, the dive down and the Shot looking back up...Awesome shot..

I've never seen or heard of manatees "porpoising" out of the water either. I think it was just playing around. Another good video Kelly.

I was at Crystal river on 2/27. It's such a beautiful place.

Love it Kelly, my daughter visits there all the time.... we are gonna go there next time I'm in good old FLA.....

You are a kindred spirit. Love your videos. Love the water, wildlife, diving, spearfishing, investigating, learning, & just taking in the Florida vibe. It gives me soul-satisfying peace.

Thanks for another cool video Kelli and tell Mom we said 👋 Hi!

There's so much more to Kelly than her beauty. Interesting, smart, funny too.

It is so tragic to see how those gentle beauties get trated. To see all the scared back of manatees from boats hitting them breaks my heart. To see them up close is appsolutly on my bucket list. Thank you Kelly for sharing such a peaceful video.

Liked the video and your mom, I would have never guessed she snorkels, that's cool!

Great video Kelly as always...

Another awesome video! Keep up the great work. I actually live about 5 minutes from there in Spring Hill. It's definitely a beautiful place.

hey Kelly :) This is one of my fav spring rivers in Fl.! I too was there a few weeks ago when it was cold, but I also went this past Sunday (28th) and it was just like summer time, it was just awesome! I got a few manatees and lots of other fish but haven't had a chance to edit vids yet. I actually learned something from this video though, I never knew that Hospital Hole had a spring in it too. I just thought it was a really deep hole like a few of the others in the river, but that's really cool! thanks, and keep up your great work! love your vids and Gabe's too! :)

Very cool video Kelly,awesome footage, nice to see your mom again in the video. Have never seen a Manatee act like a dolphin but have seen two do some thing strange last year up on the Ocklawaha River at the north side boat ramp at Moss Bluff. They acted like they were fighting, showing a very aggressive behavior, but after talking to a park ranger and showing him the footage, he said it was mating season and most likely it was two male Manatees competing to improve the chances of breeding with a receptive female.....

I just love when you talk with your mask on. Btw when I was kid in the 70s we use to tube the Weeki Wachee, before it was so crowded it was awesome, and a lot more clear. You should check out the Rainbow River sometime it's super clear.

It was really clear in the 1960's. The place where they are is down stream several miles from the source and can be affected alot from rain runoff from the swamps But even the head spring is not that clear any more, thanks to people.

Back in 2002, I went TDY (Temporary Duty) to Madill AFB FL. The Air Force put us up in some condos on the back water. One day I decided to go back and cast a line to see if I can catch some fish. While I'm standing on the wall, I heard this like rumbling sound, almost like a cow. This manatee pops up and then dives back under. Not quite as aggressive as you where showing but almost. My first time seeing one in the wild. For a guy from Alabama, I was impressed.

Exelente muy bonito e interesante. Nadar entre manaties. Agradable experiencia
