My 17 year old son and I spend most of a full day snorkeling with Fernando and Sam, in the Cozumel area. And it was definitely THE BEST DAY OF MY ENTIRE VACATION. There were only three other couples, plus us, so we got a lot of personal attention, and were very comfortable on the boat. My son and I... more

We booked Manta Raya for a snorkeling excursion during our Eastern Caribbean cruise. We had learned on a previous cruise that the cruise line excursions are usually very crowded without much individual attention. Trip Advisor had high ratings for Manta Raya, so we decided to give them a try. Our reservation was placed via email, with Fernando quickly responding to... more

With over 20 years of diving in Cozumel, Manta Raya Divers(Fernando and Sammy) opened up their "Toy Box" to us. Nurse sharks(7-9 feet long) Turtles(females), Cozumel Splendid Toad Fish and Huge Velvety Green Moray Eels appeared for 3 days. Fernando's knowledge of the dive sites, marine life and his daily efforts to keep the marine life and reefs unchanged and... more

We took the ferry from Playa del Carmen then a taxi to Manta Raya where we had made an appointment with Fernando for their Tour Dos (3 reefs). He had warned me ahead of time that he was going to have a SCUBA couple on board, but led me to believe the only ramification was that he wouldn't personally be... more

Very disappointing. After reading TA's great reviews about these guys, we contacted them by email. After getting a response and several emails confirming trip, date, time, location we showed up at their boat at the correct local time as previously arranged. "You are in our appointment book. Meet us at the boat, not at our downtown office. Beware of other... more

After reading the reviews on TA we checked out the Manta Raya website and decided to contact them for information regarding their snorkeling tours. Fernando quickly provided great communication and was very patient with all my questions (I pretty sure there were about 20 e-mails going back and forth!), We booked the Tour Dos (2 reef tour) as a private... more

First time snorkeling in Cozumel and with Manta Raya Divers. We were in safe secure hands. Communication with Manta Rays was efficient smooth and in English. My wife and I arrived by cruise ship and took a taxi to the marina where we met Fernando and Sami for a private snorkeling excursion. It was $42 USD per person to go... more

Our family of four (with 2 kids, 6 and 10) went snorkeling with Manta Raya Divers while our cruise trip stopped at Cozumel. All of us are first-time snorkelers, and 3 of us are beginning swimmers. Understandably, I wasn't sure at all if snorkeling is appropriate for us while contacted Fernando, the owner of Manta Raya Divers, for the first... more

Went snorkeling with Manta Raya Divers in Cozumel Dec.5th 2008 had a great time there were 8 of us and we all enjoyed every minute. Fernando was a great boat captian and Sammy showed us all kinds of sea life he was the best. If you go to Cozumel need to go with Manta Raya divers they are the best.... more
