Manta
Take your Scuba knowledge to the next level with one of the courses offered through Manta. From a discovery course for beginners to specialized courses such as rescue diving and divemaster, you can hone your skills as a Scuba diver while enjoying Cabo’s beautiful underwater world. Take the excitement up a notch by scuba diving in Los Cabos with sharks and whale sharks on a couple of select Manta dives. They also offer a trip to Cabo Pulmo, a National Park in the Sea of Cortez located off a remote fishing village approximately two hours’ drive from Cabo. This locale boasts one of the world’s healthiest coral reefs in the world and the opportunity to see some areas further out from the more populated Cabo.
