Great dive operation. I've been diving for over twenty years advanced certification. We had a new diver who wanted to try scuba, snorkelers and a "bubble watcher." They accommodated all of us. I got two deep full dives, while my friends got their experience as well and loved it. Most impressive part about it is they were able to accommodate all of us at every level. Jaaime, Costas and my dive master Eduardo were all great. Got some great pics of a seahorse! Big boat with all the amenities- shower etc. Washed my gear. Full service. Will use them again when I come back. read more

I had a really good solo dive w Edwardo! The whole experience was amazing, our entire boat was certified so everything was fast and efficient. Pelican cove and lands end was great! Good photo ops too! I am new to diving so I loved the discovery experience. Edwardo was professional and made sure I was safe and felt safe. That meant a lot Would definitely do it again and would not mind getting my certifications with them! Amazing experience highly recommend! read more

I came to Cabo to complete my Advanced Open Water and Nitrox certifications, and I couldn't have picked a better dive shop. From the very beginning, I was looking for a place that prioritized small class sizes and a more personalized experience--especially after a less-than-ideal OW certification elsewhere. This team delivered on every front. I started communicating with Becky months in advance, and she was incredibly helpful; promptly answering all my questions, coordinating dives for my husband while I did my course, and even sending calendar reminders. That level of professionalism set the tone before we even arrived. I was lucky to have Kostas as my instructor and even luckier to be the only student in my class. He was calm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Even though he's newer to Cabo, he already has a deep understanding of local marine life. He knew exactly where to look for megafauna and pointed out several rare species during our dives, which made the experience even more special. We dove Pelican Rock, Land's End, and made the unforgettable trip to Cabo Pulmo, where Polo led our excursion. He made sure everything ran smoothly from park briefings to safety checks. During our surface interval, we got to meet some of his fisherman friends who were camping during triggerfish season, and after our dives, we enjoyed a delicious local lunch and even met one of the OG Cabo Pulmo dive shop owners. Everyone we interacted with including Chuy, Baptiste, the boat captains, and the rest of the team, were warm, professional, and clearly passionate about diving and marine life conservation. If you're considering diving in Cabo, whether it's for fun dives or training, don't hesitate to book with this shop. I left with two new certifications, some amazing memories, and a newfound confidence and excitement for diving. 10/10 recommend! read more

We dove with Manta for three days. We highly recommend as everyone from office staff to boat captains to guides were consummate professionals. Day 1 we did a 2 dive combo trip with an add on night dive. Our guides Loris and Baptiste were professional, engaging and helpful. Day 2 we did a snorkeling day trip to La Paz with Jesus who was AMAZING with his warm personality, enthusiasm for marine science and knowledge about whale sharks. He was so respectful about the animals and demonstrated good environmental stewardship. Day 3 we did another dive in the Corridor area with Polo who was also helpful and knowledgeable. Overall I would definitely recommend Manta for all your dive needs. read more

If you're looking for a GREAT shop in Cabo you done looking. Manta did an excellent job with our trip. We had Angela and she was the best dive master we have had. She took care of everything even before we needed it . The boat was very nice and well kept. The team on the boat made it such a great dive. We saw a school of sting rays's, many puffer fish, flounder, angel fish, parrot fish, octopus, eels and soooooo much more. read more

If I can give this place a 10 star I would. I can not recommend this place enough. Chuy, Brandon, Black Shark, and our boat captain truly went above and beyond for us and made us all feel very safe while having so much fun, they all are so knowledgeable. We were a group of 7. Out of the 7 of us, 2 have had gone scuba diving with Manta before. For the other 5 of us, it was our first time scuba diving ever. For me personally, I am nervous when it comes to the ocean. Of course the fear of big animals but also the power of the ocean. I do love snorkeling but never thought I would be brave enough to try scuba diving. My dad who has done scuba diving through this company a year previously told me how good of an experience he had and really talked me into this. Manta really made me feel safe before the diving by giving our group a private lesson before even stepping out of their shop. I was still nervous but excited once we finally got geared up on the boat but as soon as I jumped into the water all my nerves went away and I was just in pure awe and was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. So glad I overcame my nerves and did it. Now I can't wait to go again! We loved it so much and feel so much in love with scuba diving because of this company that our group of 7 that went are going to try and get dive certified so we can go more often. All the equipment felt very clean and well taken care of. Chuy, Black Shark, and Brandon were very attentive and paid very close attention to detail to make sure we were all safe and comfortable. We went diving in October and the water was 84 degree F. It felt like bath water for anyone that's afraid of cold water: do it As soon as we got in the water there was so much to see. Our first dive we got to see a sea lion swimming around us! We also saw lots of cute pufferfish swimming around and they were so curious and was fun to see them come up to us and watch us. One of my personal favorite animals to see was a green moray eel! The school of fish was one of the most epic experience as they would swim all around you and there was so much color and life everywhere. Truly a life changing experience. I was always in love with the ocean but this experience with Manta made me fall even more and deeper in love with the ocean. My group and I are already itching to go back to Cabo and go scuba diving with this group again and already planning a trip just to experience this feeling again. Thank you Manta for such an amazing experience. We will be back soon! I Will forever recommend all my family and friends to go to Manta read more

Wonderful dive shop! Every person we interacted with was cheerful, caring, and upbeat. We were blessed to have Chuy (Jesus) as our guide on all dives, and enjoyed his leadership and company very much. He has fun stories and is very knowledgable about the dive sites in the area. He even made sure we got our full dive time when a small group was at somewhat uneven levels, so we got great value on every dive. The shop is safety conscious, including making us check and record nitrox mix on every tank, and labelling them so we were reminded of our mod on each dive. Don't miss Cabo Pulmo! It was by far our favorite, though the corridor was also beautiful, and a playful sea lion made our last dive at the marine park noteworthy. Lunch at cabo pulmo was also lovely, and included in the price of the dive. Taco restaurant on a beachside deck with the dive group - so much fun! Fyi - the breakfast stop on the way there offered burritos made by multiple local families, making it a better experience than the bigger, more standardized coffee shops. Many options, very reasonable prices. Highly recommend manta divers in Cabo. They were even prompt and courteous processing our refund when the port got closed due to a big storm. Despite weather issues, we had a wonderful multi-day dive trip with Manta, and hope we run into Chuy again on another adventure! Would return to Manta for sure if we go back to Cabo. read more

I did the two corridor dives one day and the Cabo Pulmo dives the next. Nice boats, well maintained equipment, and great guides! Highly recommend Manta! read more

Had a great time diving with Manta! Another family member dove a few days prior for a full day and had a great time as well. We did a half day of diving accompanied by two snorkelers in our party who had ample opportunity to snorkel while we dove. Manta did a great job accommodating them on the Super Manta expedition, even with two other diving parties with us. We dove Pelican Rock and Land's End, swimming with the sea lions! Our guide was exceptional, keeping an eye out for safety issues and being extremely attentive with any problems above and under water. The entire trip was very well run, organized, and fun! Highly recommend diving/snorkeling with them, as I will surely return. read more

We did four dives total over two days through Manta Scuba. Our guide both days was Paolo. He was awesome! All the dives were incredible but our favorite was the area called Cabo Plumo (I think) where we saw the sharks! Paolo guided us to the best dive places and then lunch was delicious afterwards! Anyway.... If you want a great dive experience while in Cabo...book your dives through Manta Scuba! read more

Great dive center. Dives were amazing and staff is really great to work with. The boat was great and well equipped. Angela the dive master was awesome. Super sweet and so fun to dive with. She deserves a raise and I definitely will come back and dive with her again. Highly recommend to is dive center read more

I had a great time learning how to dive as one who couldn't even figure out how to breath through only my mouth and sealed my mouth to hold the snorkel, I drunk so much water and failed to do snorkeling in Cancun about 15 years ago, this time I told the instructor I am a little worried and had issue seal my mouth etc. Brandon and the other student who got it right away were being so patient with me for the 1st step, and little by little I gained confident to go underwater at the pool, then we had two days in the ocean underwater, I finally got certified as a open water diver, I feel so thankful for the course and my instructor Brandon Cruz. read more

This is an excellent dive shop. Our Dive Master, Baptista, was very friendly and careful and knowledgeable. I took their refresher course, because I had not dived in a few years, and I recommend that, for safety reasons. If you're going to dive in Cabo San Lucas, you cannot go wrong here. read more

We had an amazing experience with Manta Scuba Diving! We chartered a private dive, our crew consisted of Julio, Jesus (aka Chuy) and our Captain. We had 2 adults who had previous experience scuba diving (from 20+ years ago) and 2 teenagers girls who had snorkeled before. Upon arriving to their facility Julio led a 20 minute introduction class on all the equipment we would use for your dive and demonstrated skills we would need to complete once we were in the water. We then proceeded to the dock where are our boat awaited filled with snacks, waters, sodas and all of the equipment we would need. A short 10 minute boat ride and we arrived to your dive/snorkel site. The girls were paired with Chuy as their guide. He was extremely proficient in making them feel comfortable and even used the gropro we had brought with us to capture the most amazing footage not only of the girls, the beautiful reefs of Cabo but also my husband and I down below as we returned to the boat from our dive. My husband and I dove with Julio, once we got in the water he had us complete our 3 required skills and away we went. We saw the most amazing schools of fish, an octopus, trumpet fish and even a spiny lobster. Julio made sure to point out all the beautiful creatures to us and there were several moray eels lurking about inside the rocks. Julio monitored our remaining air and before we knew it was time to surface. We decided not to make a 2nd dive and instead our crew took us on a tour of lovers beach / divorce beach and provided us with a history of the area. Chuy really had a wealth of knowledge and we truly enjoyed his friendly demeanor!!! Thank you Manta Scuba for a truly memorable experience!!! You guys are the BEST!!! read more

This was my first time in Cabo and diving with Manta. Our guide Polo was amazing! He was very friendly, funny, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Manta and Polo to anyone looking for the best diving experience in Cabo! read more

We did the two hour snorkeling tour with Baptiste and Caesar. Pedro was our captain and all three made us feel safe and well prepared for our excursion. Most of all it was FUN! Caesar guided me & made sure my mask & snorkel were on correctly. We saw lots of beautiful, brightly colored fish and even a few jellyfish! The scuba divers from our boat saw a sting ray at about 40 ft. Very exciting! Would definitely recommend Manta. Thanks Caesar for a great snorkeling trip! And thanks to Pedro who helped me get back into the boat! Lol (not strong in my old age!) read more

Not having been diving for a few years, we really appreciated the short refresher course prior to our dive. Johnny was very thorough and engaging. The equipment was in great shape. Our two dives off of Land's End and the Arch were spectacular. Plenty of sea life and reefs. Johnny was especially helpful when one of our party had difficulty descending. Johnny helped him through it and we all had an amazing dive. When a large school dolphins showed up, Jaime the boat captain took a detour out to the Pacific to follow them. I appreciated Manta's professionalism throughout the excursion and look forward to diving with them again. read more

Best diving experience I've had. Staff was amazing and everything was very well organized. Julio was our guide and he was the best!! He was so fun and helpful, and made sure to point out all the cool marine life. Definitely worth the price, I'm glad I did 3 tanks instead of 2! Rental gear is good quality and they make sure everything works right and fits properly. 10/10, would love to go again and check out another spot!! read more

We used Manta on Feb. 21, 2024 for a two-tank dive trip. We took the afternoon trip, so the visibility was probably not as great as an early morning dive, but it was still 20+. The number of fish in Cabo was astonishing with the largest number of puffer fishes I've ever seen. Our first dive was at Pelican Rock. The number of boats buzzing around the dive site was a bit unnerving, but the dive spot itself was roped off from boats. We got to enjoy a small sandfall (~60 feet). Our second dive spot was Lands' End where we were able to hear whales. The captain was very knowledgeable about the area. Mercedes was our dive master and she did an excellent job. She was attentive to our needs, listened to what we hoped to see and delivered, and was very fun just to be around. I highly recommend her! read more

Our family had an incredible time diving with Manta while on vacation in Cabo! My wife and i have dove all over the world and their standard of professionalism and the quality of the trip was as high as we have ever seen. Julio lead our group dives and we can't wait to dive with him again. This is truly a trip we will remember the rest of our lives as our 11 year old daughter completed her Open Water certificate, both the pool work and her 4 training dives with Manta. Diego was an fantastic instructor and our daughter is already looking forward to taking her Advanced class. Additionally, our 8 year old son did the bubble makers program and he's now psyched to take his Open Water certification course as soon as he's 10! Johnny took incredible care of him (as did Diego and Julio) and helped his confidence grow each dive. We always find diving to be spectacular, but diving with your children for the first time in the safe and enthusiastic way was truly a trip of a lifetime. Thank you Manta Divers! We can't wait to dive with you again. read more

Manta Scuba Diving - First pool session with Diego - Scuba Diving Near Me - Los Cabos, BCS

I highly recommend Manta Scuba for diving in Cabo San Lucas. Extremely professional, experienced, and knowledgeable staff, great gear, and great diving locations! If I were staying in Cabo for longer I'd dive with them every day. I felt totally safe with these guys. They had one dive master for every 2-3 divers. Some of the divers had advanced open water certifications and some hadn't been diving in 10+ years (aside from a refresher course the day before). Manta was able to accommodate and meet everyone where they were in their experience and comfort level. We dove for about 40 minutes in each location, took a safety stop and had plenty of time at the surface. My dive buddy / dive master was Polo and he was great and super knowledgeable. The diving was awesome - we could hear humpback whales in the distance, saw all types of fish and coral, saw an octopus and a sea horse. I will totally dive with Manta when I return to Cabo. Thank you!! read more

I spent three fantastic days exploring the sea with Manta. This is a very professional, fun, safe, and well-run dive shop. I recommend Manta to anyone diving in Los Cabos! On my first day, I did a 2-tank refresher dive with Nahuel, who was great. We practiced some scuba skills in the water such as buoyancy, regulator recovery, and air sharing. I felt way more confident going into the water after doing the refresher. We then dove two different dive sites and saw a bunch of sea creatures -- a highlight was swimming with the sea lions at Land's End. Nahuel was an awesome divemaster -- he was a ton of fun, told us all about the history and geography of the area, gave clear briefings, and made sure to point out creatures such as octopuses and eels. Also thanks to our boat captain Pedro for getting us really close to the sea lions! The next day I did a 3-tank dive with Jesús. This was a fantastic day of diving! We saw eagle rays, two schools of devil rays, white tip reef sharks, sea lions, and an octopus. From inside the boat we also spotted some whales and dolphins. Jesús was a great divemaster -- he pointed out tons of cool stuff underwater, and made sure we were all having a good time. A huge thanks to the entire boat crew as well! The Manta team spotted a school of jumping devil rays and took us over to go impromptu snorkeling with them. Finally, on the 3rd day, we did the full-day whale shark trip to La Paz with Polo as our guide. Since we were snorkeling, my fiancée (a non-diver) was able to join the trip and swim with the whale sharks as well. This trip was so cool!!! I'd always wanted to see a whale shark, and swimming with them was a real highlight. The sharks move very quickly and our boat captain was skilled at following the shadows so we could jump in at the right spot. Polo, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the whale sharks and we learned a ton from him. We also went snorkeling with sea lions afterwards which was so fun, they're really playful and swam right up to us. Then we stopped on a private beach for delicious fresh sashimi for lunch. All in all, I strongly recommend Manta to anyone visiting Los Cabos! They are true professionals who will keep you safe while making sure you have an amazing time. Thank you Nahuel, Jesús, and Polo, and to our awesome boat captains! read more

This place was super cool and the instructor helped me overcome my fear of jumping off of the boat

Very friendly and helpful. Dive experience enjoyable. Close attention to clients needs.

My family has scuba dived with them in the past and this was my husband and my first solo trip. We have done 4 days of diving with them so far and we have one more dive trip tomorrow. They are the best company I've worked with thus far. Their reception is incredibly prompt with responding to email questions and they are thorough with their answers. We started our trip diving with Brandon as our guide. The first thing we saw was a huge school of bat rays lead by a single Mobil's ray at Pelican Rock. Our next site was Land's end where we got to play with some sea lions and saw another school of bat rays much closer to us. Our Halloween dive with Julio was FANTASTIC. He wore a day of the dead mask and we listened to spooky music on the way to dive sites, he took video and photos of us and made sure we gave him our email before we left the dive shop so he could share them with us. We got to go to Whale Head and Blow hole for dive sites, each dive was better than the last. We saw white tipped reef sharks and an octopus, not to mention countless beautiful fish. We went to Cabo pulmo with Paulo, had an amazing experience. Lunch is included with this trip and my husband and I are vegetarians. Paulo made sure to let them know beforehand. The cooks there took the time to make us a special meal separate from everyone else. The dive was incredible, we saw big bull sharks, dolphins from the boat and an awesome colorful reef. Paulo made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. We also dove Land's End with Paulo and had the most incredible sea lion encounter, words can't describe. We did a night dive with Loris, it was just us and him, a VIP tour! His passion for diving was apparent and he took the time to show us special things he loved about night diving in Cabo. We saw an eel on the hunt, bioluminescence, huge lobsters, it was awesome! We were scheduled to do a La Paz snorkel with them, but due to the season we had to cancel that. Manta offered 2 different dive options as a replacement. We chose a 3 tank dive with them and it was incredible. We dove Pelican Rock, Whales Head and Lands End that day. We are returning to Cabo in December and will definitely be booking our dives with Manta!!! read more

If it's your first time I would not recommend it. They don't let you practice in the pool, you go straight to the ocean. Nice people, but just be aware. I was freaking out and wanted to get out of the water and he told me to .."ask my husband first" .. bruh.. this is not how it works. read more

Had a wonderful time this past Saturday, doing three dives with (Julio, "Black Shark") and captain Felix. I really appreciated how organized the dives were, with a big focus on safety. Julio took his time, gave a fantastic overview of each dive, and was patient with each of our skill levels. He was also extremely kind and dove with me a little longer as others had to return early. Well worth the price. I fully rented out gear, was given plenty of water / food, and felt well taken care of. Would highly recommend, and will absolutely return! read more

Signed up to go on 2 dives by myself because wife doesn't dive. Manta gave me my own guide/dive buddy. Sebastian was the shit! Seeing 2 sleeping White-tip reef sharks in a cave was definitely a highlight. Definitely sticking with Manta if I ever come back to Cabo. read more

Brandon, our personal diving instructor was very patient and funny. Cesar was our captain, also a diving instructor. We thoroughly enjoyed all 3 dives and you can tell the staff loves what they do and truly appreciate their customers. We were well taken care of and will dive with Manta team again when we return to Los Cabo. We highly recommend you dive with them, too. read more

My son, Jonathan, finished his open water certification dives in Cabo. We were so happy that our local dive shop in Denver set us up with Manta Dive. Jonathan got two days (4 total dives) with Jesus (aka Chewy) and came back thrilled and well educated about open water diving. We went out together two days later and enjoyed another two dives under Chewy's patient and careful guidance. The equipment was well prepared and the boat well stocked with sandwiches, snacks and water. I hadn't dove in some time and Chewy was very reassuring and calming and helped me enjoy my two dives, offering instruction in between the dives. Manta thoughtfully sent a dive master with each of the groups, however small, on the boat, ensuring a very personal experience. We especially appreciated that Jonathan was able to dive for all three days with Chewy, offering consistent instruction and continuity from the previous days. We would HIGHLY recommend Manta Dive. The driver and dive masters were knowledgable and friendly. Polo even took a dive into the ocean when two people lost their caps due to a wind gust. This was a full-service experience! One thing to note: the dive computers are not included in the rental package. Be sure to mention the desire for a computer separately if you want one when you register. read more

I've been diving for 40+ years and have never been treated so well as this dive shop. These folks from the girl at the front counter to the dive masters ( thanks Jesus (Chewy) , boat captain Jimmy (who always had the boat in the right spot for easy pickup), and the rest of the crew who do everything for you including changing your tanks and rinsing your gear at the end of the day in preparation for the next day! They would always recap our dives even before getting out off the water and answer questions about sea-life that we saw. The briefings were excellent especially Jose who has a booming voice was very clear on what was going to happen. I liked that they had a 3 tank dive trip (that we did 2x) that made a fuller diving day and easily stayed under no deco limits. read more

Thank you to everyone at Manta, I am now going to get certified! read more

I was disappointed in this dive shop. The snorkeling was lovely. Caesar was a great guide. But, the business practice of this company is not good. I was communicating with the company via WhatsApp prior to my arrival in Cabo. I needed to change from a scuba dive trip to a snorkeling trip. They sent an invoice saying I was due back the difference in cost of $57 After my excursion I asked for my refund. I was initially told,'we don't do refunds'. I was able to convince the woman that I had an invoice. She agreed to credit my original card for the difference in cost. I walked away satisfied. Today I see on my credit card that I was simply CHARGED another $57. That is not cool. That is not how you do good business! read more

Took the intro to scuba diving class. Staff was friendly and helpful. Seemed to really want you to learn and like scuba diving. Water was pretty rough because of Tropical Storm Olaf but still had a good time. Only able to dive one site due to rough seas. I think I am going to be an avid scuba diver!! Only recommendation, speak english when all of your customers are English speaking. Guides were Italian, Mexican, and French. read more

It was my first time scuba diving and i had a blast. So many fish to see in the water, the scuba diving itself was exhilarating, and it was a lot of fun. Polo and Jaime were the best instructor and guides we could've asked for. Very simple step by step instructions, easy to grasp concepts, both were very friendly and welcoming, and gave good local food recommendations. Definitely recommend this place, it's worth it. read more
