Diving in the Sea of Cortez is an unforgettable experience, with shipwrecks, caves, reefs, and sandfalls to explore. The wide variety of marine life and prime conditions make diving trips perfect for those seeking adventure travel. Where you go depends on your expertise. Snorkeling tours are perfect for surveying the underwater world with minimal equipment and training.
Diving conditions are great all year. June to December offers the greatest visibility, warmest water and longest periods of calm weather. Visibility can exceed 100 feet, and the temperature averages between 78 and 85 F.
Manta Scuba Diving is located in Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean and the desert and sea create an area of unspoiled beauty. Described by Jacques Cousteau as "one the richest seas of the world," this is among the top places to dive worldwide—you’ll be awed by the amount and variety of marine life you’ll encounter here. There are hundreds of species of marine life, which combined with the spectacular underwater landscapes of cliffs and canyons will make for unforgettable dive experiences.
Manta's PADI certified dive masters and instructors will ensure that your diving is fun and safe, while you enjoy fantastic diving tours, certification courses, and full-day diving expeditions.
Some of the packages and diving expeditions require a minimum number of divers. For smaller groups, please contact us and we will try to make a larger group for the dive.
