Overview

Take Your Diving Further – Tec Courses with Manta Scuba in Los Cabos

Technical diving represents one of the last true frontiers of underwater exploration. It takes you past the limits of recreational diving, opening the door to places few people have ever visited. For experienced divers, it’s a chance to challenge themselves, sharpen their skills, and dive into a whole new world.

At Manta Scuba, we offer high-quality training in one of the most exciting technical diving environments in Mexico. With experienced instructors and incredible underwater topography right off our coast, Los Cabos is a Tec diver’s dream—and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

We’re proud to be one of the few dive centers in the region offering active technical diving instruction. Our team brings experience in deep wrecks, caves, decompression, and sidemount diving. And most importantly, we believe in quality training. Our instructors are thoughtful, patient, and committed to your growth.

Why Become a Tec Diver?

  • Access untouched dive sites. Many deep reefs and wrecks lie below 40m/130ft.
  • More bottom time. Learn how to manage decompression and stay longer underwater.
  • Challenge yourself. Tec diving requires precision, control, and mental focus.
  • Stay at the cutting edge. Work with advanced equipment and dive technology.

That said, tec diving isn’t for everyone—it demands effort, discipline, and an understanding of the risks involved. But for those who are ready, the rewards are unmatched.

Why Tec Dive in Los Cabos?

The bay of Cabo San Lucas is nicknamed the canyon—and for good reason. Just minutes from the marina, walls drop to over 300 meters deep. Add offshore seamounts, ancient rock formations, and unexplored canyon walls, and you’ve got an ideal playground for technical training.
