A series of images of Florida’s manatees taken by Wetpixel Associate Editor Alex Mustard have been published in the UK daily newspaper The Telegraph. In the article, he is quoted as saying:

“Manatees live life at a slow pace, so when you swim with them you are forced to chill down to their speed,” explained the 36-year-old from Hampshire. “They’re just floating about in a sort of zen state. Then, when they come up to you and want you to scratch them, it is so exciting you get a real connection.”
