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

Our party of 6 just returned from a cruise stop at Cozumel and a terrific snrokeling adventure with Fernando and Sammie. We took the Dos Tour which included stops at 3 different reefs for close to an hour at each reef. All totaled we were on the water for almost 4 hours. These guys know the waters off Cozumel. We... more

Manta Raya is a wonderful small company that cares about pleasing the customer by ensuring a safe, memorable experience for all customers. Both my wife, son (12), and myself undertook our scuba Open Water Diver certification with Fernando and his staff over the March Break period. The instruction - both onland, and in the water was absolutely excellent. Fernando Aldana... more

I found Manta Raya Divers through Trip Advisor as I was looking for an alternative for a cruise excursion for Cozumel instead of booking through the cruise line. After reading all the excellent reviews here, we booked easily with Fernando through email and my whole party of 7 thought I was a genius for finding such a stellar excursion. Fernando... more
