SCUBA DIVE & SNORKEL CANCUN
What Divers Say About Manta Dive & Snorkel Cancun
If you are working through Cancun dive shop reviews before you book, you are doing exactly the right thing. Below are comments from divers and snorkellers who have actually been out with us, in their own words, with a link back to where each one was posted.
We have picked the ones that tell you something useful. A five star rating on its own says very little. A review that names the trip, the conditions and how the day actually ran tells you what to expect on yours.
Our guests come for different things. Two tank reef dives along the Cancun Reefs. MUSA, the underwater museum, where more than 500 sculptures have grown into working reef. The C55 and C58 wrecks. Cenote days inland, and full day trips across to Cozumel.
Snorkellers ride the same boats as the divers, which is why so many of these reviews come from families and mixed groups who did not want to split up for the day.
Others come to learn. We teach the full PADI path here, from a first Discover Scuba dive through Open Water and Advanced to Rescue and Divemaster, and we finish referrals that were started at home. If it has been a while since your last dive, our refresher gets you comfortable again before you go anywhere near a reef.
Read enough of these and the same things keep coming up. Small groups. Our own boats, leaving from the marina directly outside our shop. Instructors who teach in English and Spanish. Everything included, with nothing to pay on the day beyond gratuities.
That is what we aim for. These reviews are how you check whether we manage it.
You can read every review we have, not only the ones on this page, on Google and on TripAdvisor. And if you have dived with us before, we would be glad if you added yours.

Did my Open Water Dive course with Manta Divers and Dani my instructor was incredible, very patient, always made sure I understood everything correctly, was not rush, and most importantly always made sure I was safe.
Could not recommend then enough, very incredible crew. And Dani also a great photographer.

Attention unlike anything I have experienced in nearly 15 years of diving
Rating

Manta Divers is the place to go for every type of diving available in and around Cancun. The professionalism of the staff is unparalled, and the personalized attention is unlike anything I've experienced in nearly 15 years of diving, including as a dive professional.
The entire team is strong, but Guillermo and Vicente deserve special recognition for their dedication and excellence. I spent a full day with Guillermo on both Cozumel drift and wreck dives as well as a night dive, and another full day with Vicente doing two cenotes. Both devoted themselves to our small party and catered to our every need while being fun to be around and great conversationalists.
We had two other members of our group doing a checkout dive and refresher course, and from all accounts, Monteczuma was a stellar instructor as well. If you have the time and want to focus on logging a variety of dives across the greater Cancun region, this is the crew to dive with.

Amazing experience. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Danny and Guillermo were my divemasters and I can't compliment them enough.
I dove all week and they kept and cleaned my gear. I went to many reefs, the underwater museum and some cenotes. This is the place to dive with in Cancun.

After years of not diving, I came back to Cancun. I took the refresher class with Manta and then the two tank dive. We did Musa and a reef. Daniel was my DM and he was amazing. I was a little nervous to get back at it, but he was so friendly and very thorough. The dives were amazing. We saw sting rays, turtles, barracudas and even a shark. Daniel took amazing pics and video and I had one of the best diving days ever. I will absolutely dive with them again.

We had such a great experience with Manta Divers! We aren't very experienced divers and the pros here were so helpful and patient. They selected all our equipment and did all the heavy lifting.
We were able to enjoy the boat ride and jump in the water when it was time. Danny held my hand the whole way down until I was comfortable on my own. They picked out 2 great diving locations for us and even took some pictures. We felt very safe the entire trip.

Rating

During Easter 2026, I booked 8 dives with Manta Divers, including two dives in the cenotes. In Cenotes, Vicente took wonderful care of me from the very beginning, whether it was providing information, preparing equipment, or leading the dives. Thanks to him, I experienced unforgettable moments.
The following six dives with Danny. Two of them were on reefs near Cancun, and two more were on Cozumel, including reef dives and a wreck dive. I have to say that all of these dives were not only conducted professionally, but Danny also took care of absolutely everything from A to Z, from ensuring the right equipment was available to handling different tank connections and every other little detail.
But beyond his professionalism, he was also a calm and caring person. He always made sure that both I and my buddy were doing well. Unfortunately, we were unable to complete our last two dives on Cozumel because the weather conditions became too difficult, and we had to turn back. Even so, I felt completely safe and in the best hands underwater at all times.
Danny always knew exactly what he could show us and constantly kept an eye on everyone in the group. Keep up the amazing work, also with his incredible videos. I'm already looking forward to the next time I can dive again with Manta Divers!

We selected Manta because they were at the top of the google list of dive companies that provided tours of MUSA, the underwater sculpture park. (They also had good reviews, but that's how you get to the top of that list!)
We are pleased to report a 100% positive experience, with the exception of the chop on the ride out, but that's not their fault. The staff were courteous, hard-working, and very friendly.
Our dive was a mixed group: there was one man there to complete his Advanced Open Water Cert, a father with two boys who were there for their Junior Open Water Cert dives, and ourselves, who were already certified and just wanted to tour the Museo. Each group had their own divemaster and guide.
The boat was spotless and well organized. Sometimes you see a thin crew on guided dives, but we had a crew of four to support the six of us. Plenty of cold water was provided and we were offered energy bars after the dive.
It was a two tank dive and we rented all of the pressure gear. All of the equipment was in good repair and carefully reviewed by the staff before it was issued. A good time was had by all, and we would be glad to dive with them again.

Really good diving experience. From the start Manta Dive was informative and made whole experience easy. We did the wreck dive near Puerto Morelos which was amazing.
Saw rays, stingrays, nurse sharks, turtles and plenty of fish and barracudas. Guillermo and Gabriel were great. Would definitely recommend diving with them and when diving near Cancun will not look for any other spot.

Rating

3 days of diving with this group and couldn't be more pleased. They went above and beyond to accommodate my requests, which included rearranging a cenote dive I misbooked. Within a day I felt like family, they knew my name.
If I had any criticism, my first dives had somewhat set durations but after that I was able to dive my tank within reason, 45+ minutes before starting the safety stop even if other divers had to go up sooner.
Booking was easy, I was able to reach a real person on WhatsApp easily, and pricing was straightforward and included rental equipment if needed as well as park fees. Only additional cost was tips and transportation to and from the dive shop, which is also where their boat is docked. Not sure I will be back in Cancun anytime soon, but I wouldn't dive with any other shop.

We booked a Cozumel two tank dive with Stafford from Manta Diving and had an amazing day on the reefs with our dive guide, Danny. Danny was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. He made sure we were comfortable with our gear and was fantastic at spotting marine life.
Over the course of the two dives, we saw three hawksbill turtles, a 3ft reef shark, an 8ft nurse shark, some eels, lobsters, and so many beautiful fish. Everything was well organized and relaxed, and we felt well looked after the entire time. We're very glad we chose Manta Diving and would highly recommend them.

Great dive masters and captains here. I had two bookings with them: one for 2 reefs and one for shipwreck and reef. Both were fantastic, great corals, we got lucky and saw sea turtles, eagle rays and a hammerhead shark.
The dive masters do a great job making sure everyone's doing fine and also just good vibes in general.

What an amazing experience! We had an absolute blast, and I did not even snorkel! I got to sit on the boat and chill while everyone else dived. It was such a great experience, the staff was incredible and very knowledgeable. The captain was very kind and let me jump into the water even though I was not snorkeling.
Everyone had a great time snorkeling too. They got to see a ship wreck and actually go inside the ship, and ended up seeing a shark and a bunch of sting rays, and even an eel! We will absolutely be back and maybe I will even snorkel next time :)

Awesome staff, very professional and helpful. Max was my guide on my very first cenote dives and I was blown away.
The sulfide cloud that formed at the halocline was absolutely stunning, it felt so otherworldly. If it was the only thing I did in Mexico then it would have been worth the trip. Highly recommended!
