Manta Divers SA de CV

For more than two decades, Manta Divers has built its reputation as the best "little" dive center in Cancún. Founded 23 years ago, this PADI 5 Star Dive Resort pairs a small, personal feel with the resources of a full operation — seven PADI instructors, three languages spoken (English, Spanish, and Dutch), and a team that treats safety and reef conservation as seriously as the diving itself.

Courses and dive sites

Whether you're taking your first breaths underwater or logging your hundredth dive, there's a path here. PADI Discover Scuba Diving and the Open Water Diver course (with eLearning) welcome newcomers, while two-tank outings to the reef, wreck sites, and the famed MUSA underwater sculpture museum reward the experienced. Signature dives explore Isla Mujeres, Manchones National Park, La Pared, Punta Sur, the C58, and Whale Shark Point.

With an onsite training pool and classroom, a waterfront base, a dive boat, and a retail shop, Manta Divers suits solo divers, groups, and anyone drawn to Cancún's sharks, turtles, whales, and vibrant reef life. Dives from USD 130.
