Hi jon,
my name is marlin and i will be visiting the villages with my family the last week of july. We have four divers and would like some insite on diving. I have looked at the web site for manatee central and crystal river watersports. We would like to dive with the manatees and dive the blue grotto. We have our basic dive gear fins, mask. Snorkel. Is it best to rent the other gear (tanks, reg, etc.) from the tour provider or rent from a dive shop and dive on our own? Would appreciate any info you may provide.

Thanks,
marlin
