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, JesĂşs, and Polo, and to our awesome boat captains!
