My wife and I booked with Manta Raya for a 3 reef snorkle trip. They are a small, personal operation who gives each individual their undivided attention in regards to history, fish identification, and general reef information. The guide we had in the water with us, Sammie, was amazing. His english was excellent and this guy had an eye for... More

My son and I dove in Cozumel, Mexico with Fernando Aldana of Manta Raya Divers this month. We stopped there on a cruise ship and had from 9 to 4 to dive. Fernando was great. He takes only a small number of divers out at a time (4 to 6), and hence can give everyone individual attention. He took the... More

Having read the reviews on here, I decided it was worth booking a trip with Fernando before we travelled to Mexico, and like the others he made booking the trip easy via email. He replied to all my emails promptly and with lots of advice and guidance. We'd booked a 2pm two reef snorkelling tour, and to our delight found... More

I saw the reviews for Manta Raya Divers in Cozumel, and sent Fernando an email request. His response was very prompt, and we easily worked out a reservation for the day our cruise ship was in Cozumel. He gave us good advice about getting a taxi to the marina, and we had no difficulties. We were a group of four... More

Our cruise ran late and we had to re-schedule - Fernando was really good about getting back to us and worked out a later start time. My wife and I were snorkeling rookies but Sammy took the time to explain things to us and went slowly to ensure we kept up. Small boat with 2 families snorkeling - 7 people... More

I would highly recommend Fernando at Manta Raya Divers. The snorkel tour that my girlfriend and I went on with Fernando and guide Samuel was incredible and reasonably priced. More

The snorkeling trip that we did with Manta Raya Divers was one of the highlights of our vacation in Cozumel. We booked the "Tour Tres" with them for $55 per person. They picked us up from our hotel pier and we did the tour in the afternoon. We didn't pay for the private tour, but it ended up being just... More

We scheduled a snorkeling tour with Manta Raya divers online and they did not show up! We waited 30 minutes - one of the other boat captains tried to radio them but no answer. We asked if other boats at this marina were available for hire but were told that most of them only did more expensive scuba trips. The... More

Fernando and Sammy don't have the biggest boat or operation , but that gives them more time to take care of there guests. there were four of us that went snorkeling. after getting in the water which was a little choppy one of the guests started to have a panick attack. sammy was able to calm her down and relax...

We started researching our snorkeling trip a few months before our trip to Cozumel, and came across some great reviews for Manta Raya so after some more digging we decided that they would be the best choice for us. We touched base with Fernando and he was quick to answer all of our questions via email, which was great. Upon... More
