WATCH: Diver waves to manatee in close encounter

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:13:01 GMT

HOLMES BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) -- When diver James Preslick saw a dark, shadowy figure moving closer towards him in the water Sunday morning, it turned out to be something he didn't expect."I expected a shark or stingray, but not a manatee this time of the year," Preslick told Nexstar's WFLA. While diving off Florida's Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island around 11 a.m., Preslick was greeted by the curious manatee. The encounter was captured by Preslick, who could be seen waving at the manatee once he realized what sea creature it was. Photo courtesy of James Preslick"My first reaction was, 'What the heck is that coming towards me!?!'" James said. "I saw its nose come out of the water and figured out what it was. Super cool experience."Preslick said he typically dives near a reef called "Spanish Rocks" off the coast of Holmes Beach, one of the few shore dives in the Tampa Bay area, but for the diver, this experience was special as he said he'd "never been that close to a manatee."

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:13:01 GMT

By John Walton | CNNYou’ve seen them on TikTok and on Instagram: people flying on the new generation of long-haul, low-cost airlines where the fares sound too good to be true.Flights from New York to Paris for $200? They’re out there, if you’re able to be flexible, and if you’re willing to skip extras — depending on the airline, that could include checked bags, meals, entertainment and the bar cart.But what’s different on each of these independent airlines? Let’s break it down.Comparing long-haul, low-cost carriers to other airlines that bill themselves as “full-service,” you’ll often get the same newer planes like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, sometimes with the same seats and entertainment screens. To an extent, airline food is airline food, and many folks already pack their own meals even on full-service airlines.These carriers can be a great deal if you go into them with the understanding that you’re paying low-cost fares, so you should expect a low-cost experience onboard.Ove...
