It's been several years since I did this; however, did go to Crystal River. You will need wet suits because the spring fed water is cold. Keep in mind that the Manatees start leaving the springs/rivers when it starts warming up around the end of March or so. This time of year there may not be manatees. I'd call Crystal River tour places to check. When I was there in the winter months over Christmas there more manatees than anyone could count and the experiences have always been great (have done it a few times). Sorry this isn't as informative as you'd probably hoped. It's been several years since I've gone over to snorkel with them.
