Manati Divers - 77780 Tulum

Nous avons été encadrés par Pedro pour notre première plongée en amoureux (une plongée plaisir pour Léonor, une toute première plongée pour moi) D’abord dans le cenote, pour appréhender le matériel, la pression, apprendre à respirer et nager sous l’eau, puis un tour dans la mer, toujours encadré par le sourire incroyable de Pedro ! Des coraux merveilleux, plonger de cave en cave, rencontrer des raies, un barracuda, une jolie murène … et même un joli requin ! On se souviendra d’avoir joué avec des soles camouflées dans le sable, d’un petit couple de poissons au nom improbable protégeant leur petit nid … j’ai peur que mes prochaines plongées ne soient ennuyeuses après celle-ci ?? Pedro est un instructeur d’une patience infinie, le sourire au bord des levres. Allez y les yeux fermés, vous les rouvrirez sous l’eau !

Hermoso cenote aguas cristalinas lo único malo es el personal que te atiende da mucho que desear para el turismo nacional!

We were assigned to work with Pedro and he was very supportive and show a lot of patience with our group while we were learning how to use our equipment. We were able to go on 4 dives and each one was memorable.

Pedro is a very patient and a great teacher. The scenery under water is very beautiful. I recommend to all who are interested in scuba diving and getting their certification.

We (a group of 4) did an intro dive followed by several days of diving to complete PADI Open Water certification. Our instructor, Pedro, was great at explaining things and made us almost as comfortable under water as he clearly was! We also worked with Miguel, who runs the place (we were at their Akumal location, where they have a cenote for the initial practice dives). The equipment was OK, everything worked for me. Some of us had some issues and needed a new here or a new jacket there. Not a problem, especially given that this wasn't as pricey as elsewhere. The dives were beautiful, and Pedro took us out on a reef and showed us a bunch of sea creatures I had never seen before! It took quite a bit of patience to actually receive our PADI certificates. They shipped their signed forms some 1.5 months later, and then it took another two months for PADI in California to actually receive them and send out certificates. I didn't need my card, and Miguel was super nice about responding on WhatsApp throughout the process, so overall we had a nice experience. Keep in mind, it's "mañana" Mexico: leave your calendar and work mentality behind, relax, enjoy your vacation, and things will fall into place. I think most of us are going to go again on some dives!

A cenote attendant called and we had a dive guide in 1 hour, Miguel was very experienced and we had an amazing time.

We travel to Casa Cenote to look for Panchito and met the guys of Manati Divers. We asked for a dive in the afternoon. After we swam with the crocodile they await us and we made an incredible 69 minutes dive. Really cool dudes. The price was very cheap, I give a big tip because I feel ashamed about the low price. The destination is amazing if you haven’t swim with a crocodile before go there and combine it with diving.

Terrible current since it connects to the ocean- not a cenote because it’s salty and not fresh- cool fish but have to pay to bring GoPro and have to pay to safely secure keys when there’s no where to secure them and there’s no spots to rest if you plan to just snorkel- you won’t be able to see the whole thing also saw them talking bad about some white folks who can’t speak Spanish and tried to make them pay more overall not satisfied
