Manta Divers

I had an incredible experience diving with Manta Divers! I traveled to Cancun for a friend’s wedding and wanted to experience some of the renowned cave diving on the peninsula. Our guide was awesome and had a lot of insightful information about the history of the caves and some of the unique archaeological finds divers located throughout the peninsula. It was a very safe, very educational, and very fun experience and I highly recommend the professionals at Manta Divers!

My experience with Manta was 1^st class all the way. They helped me with scheduling a trip out to the Cenotes, and arranged the pick-​up at my hotel. The van arrived on time, the driver courteous, and condition of van was nearly new. A quick trip to the shop and we were off. Stefon, our guide was the best. Gave extra attention to the newbies in our group. Also took the time to explain the dive site and it’s significance. Really turned it from just another dive into an experience. I look forward to diving with this operation upon returning to Cancun.
I am a SCUBA instructor, and I plan to recommend your operation to all of my students who visit Cancun. Keep up the good work.

Great dive crew! They were all very friendly, knowledgable, and fun too! It was great to go with a small group, it was very personal and as I was on my own without my dive buddy for the first time, I felt very safe being a group of 4. My only con (small one) was that the water we were given between dives was in a jug cooler with a spigot. We used plastic cups. I’m all for saving the environment, but a bottle of water would have been nice. I would definitely dive with them again and recommend them highly, but I’d bring a water w me.

great dive shop, won’t go to any other shop for my diving needs. stephon was a great guide

I absolutely loved my experience with Manta Divers. I was so scared of diving, I even cried multiple times but by the next day I felt more at ease with the water and my surroundings. Special thanks to Alex, Marie and Chris for all their help and training. They put my mind at ease, helped me conquer a huge fear and successfully helped me become a certified scuba diver in 3 days!!! I can’t wait to dive again !!! You guys helped me do this and I can’t imagine being certified anywhere else but with Manta Divers !!!

My bf and I came to Cancun for a friend’s wedding. My bf is an experienced diver and I needed to do my check out dives to complete my open water certification. I was very nervous about my first ocean dive being with someone I had never met… until I met Alex. She was amazing, super sweet and very knowledgeable. We chose Manta Divers because we were referred there by the owner of the Scuba Shop in Mesa, Az referred them. They were very easy to work with over the phone prior to our trip and let my bf dive with me for a very reasonable price. The cab drivers said they didn’t know this place but after we told them Marina Del Ray at kilometer 16 they found it easily enough. When we got to the shop they were just opening but we were warmly greeted by Marie. Our first day on April 15,2015 we did two dives. Alex let us pick which areas we wanted to dive. The first day it was just Alex, the captain and first mate, my bf and myself on The Nemo. The boat is a bit small so it was a very bouncy ride. Alex was patient and very helpful. I could not have asked for a better first time. Alex made sure I was at ease and if I wasn’t she was very reassuring. Second day April 16^th we had another group on the boat which in total put 12 people including staff on the boat. It wasn’t too crowded and made the ride a little less bouncy. My 3^rd and 4^th dive ended up being my bf and myself, Alex and a guy who was completing his drift certification. Alex was still super attentive and checked on me constantly to make sure I was ok. I was sad to leave after the second day as everyone felt like family by that point.
If you are taking a taxi ask Marie to call the guy they normally use. He was super nice and charged us fairly. Next time we are in Cancun or Cozumel we will dive with Manta Divers again.

Just returned from Cancun and had the pleasure of diving with Manta. They exceeded our expectations. Romeo & Jara were our dive masters and were wonderful to dive with. Very friendly, spoke Spanish & English and knew the dive sites very well.
Marie & Matt in the shop were fabulous and so helpful. This is a small operation and that was a huge plus, max divers we had on the boat were 5 and it was perfect. I don’t like 15 divers in one dive, you waste more time waiting for everyone to see everything.
John, the owner is very nice and don’t forget to try their restaurant next door, the Blue Gecko. They have great tacos, great prices, good drinks & friendly service.
Your cab driver will act like they don’t know where Manta is, but just give them the address. They will try to take you to Aquaworld, stay away from them.
