Awesome Experience!

Karla and Jimmy were awesome! They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We got to see incredible marine life such as pufferfish, sting rays, lobsters, angel fish, and even a shark! Karla was very patient with our son, who was hesitant to scuba dive, and she was very helpful and responsive with my husband when he had a minor incident. We would highly recommend this tour!

Scuba fun

Jesus, Polo and Eduardo were amazing. They took my family of 6 out for the beginner dive. Three of us had been diving or were certified and three not at all. They catered to us all. Jesus was the best with all levels and Polo stuck with me who knew nothing! Seriously a great time.

Highlight of the week

We booked with Manta for the discover scuba tour with a second dive. Our instructor Kosta was great, very knowledgeable and funny. After an equipment issue and a brief class we got the boat. My wife, son, and I were the only people on the class. When we got on the boat we were joined by another instructor, Chui, and Captain Flash. Turns out scuba is harder than I thought but our son took eight to it. My wife and I took a little longer but Kosta got us under the water in no time. The second dive site had a ton of sea life and well worth it. It was the highlight of our trip and I will book with Manta again.

First try

Costas, our guide, gave clear and easy to understand instructions. We went at a pace we were comfortable with. Amazing close up look at various fish. Might be a little challenging if you have trouble with ears/sinuses equalizing pressure. Otherwise, Highly Recommend!

Great guide, amazing marine life, poor office communication

A fantastic experience and great guide! Eduardo ensured that everything went well from the first steps in the shop, to equipment, to underwater tour! The marine life was amazing and worth it! Hints- be prepared for less than enthusiastic replies and delayed responses once you give deposit.

Amazing experience

Fabulous experience. Our guide, "Jesus" put us completely at ease. He was so knowledgeable and experienced and great with my 11 and 14 year old daughters. The entire team was completely professional while still being fun. We'll definitely do this again.

Manta Divers for Life

Monik was a great teacher for an Intro to Scuba Diving, very focused on safety and enjoyment for the participants. She was passionate about the future of scuba diving for her career and training young participants with a safety focus The Captain of the boat, Jamie was incredible at handling the support vessel while we participated in our dives, navigating for and protecting the divers in the water, in very busy waters with many water activities adjacent to our dive. The admin team to the Manta Web site and online reservation and communications process with email billing and whatsApp was really efficient and easy. Not to mention trusting, when we left after our trip, forgetting to pay for our second tank dives. This was easy to pay for from our hotel room. We will dive with Manta again in the future, the next time we come to Cabo San Lucas. Thank you again Manta Team.

Love it!

We were very lucky to have Kosta as our guide. We had a wonderful time! He patiently demonstrated and taught us everything we needed about scuba diving. We did two dive, Kosta pointed out everything he found. We saw sea lion, and tons of different fished, also an octopus! Highly recommend.
