Day EncountersCharter our private dive boat for an exclusive Manta Safari. Join our experienced staff on our custom built dive boat Monkey Business and search for Mantas around the island. Mantas are best encountered from the surface and then free diving and snorkelling give the best photo & video opportunities.
A day private charter for 5 freedivers/Snorkellers is $750USD and includes boat, lunch & refreshments, guide, marine park passes. Night EncountersThis activity has recently become more restricted by the Mexican National Park Service. It is very important to ensure you go with a credible operator. The techniques used to encounter mantas feeding at night, if not done properly can injure the animals. The night diving season is August through December.
