Bird's
Underwater is owned and operated by Captains
Bill "Bird" and Diane Oestreich. We have been operating
as guides in Crystal River since 1989. We offer personal attention,
supervision and education to our customers. We love the manatees
and have learned to balance your desire to see them with a respect
for the animal, the laws and the local environment.
Our tours are intended to be educational, as well as
enjoyable. We are devoted to educating the public about the
plight of the manatees and helping to protect the manatees from boat
propellers and other manmade hazards.
Bird's Underwater is a proud sponsor of the Manatee Fund under the guidance of the
Friends of the Chassohowitzka Wildlife
Refuge. Please visit their website and consider a donation to our local manatees.
Free manatee literature is available upon request.
