REVIEWS
Highlight of the holiday!
My sister and I decided to do a beginners dive while in Lanzarote. Safe to safe it was an amazing experience , the instructors were great craic and made us feel very comfortable . Not to mention the beautiful under water aquatic life . We loved the it so much in fact , we decided to complete our SSI open water certificate with Manta. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there and would highly recommend it to anyone.
Professional, personable and an amazing experience
Something I have wanted to do for a long time, and what's better than sharing it with my daughter. Very professional, but made us feel really welcome from start to finish. Instructions where clear which allowed us to maximise our experience. I would definitely recommend Manta Diving and hope to visit again in the future..... Brilliant!
