    My family just spent the last week with the crew at Aquatic sport adventures and we had a great time. They helped us plan out 5 days of diving with some shore dives, boat dives and even a night dive. Despite the visibility being not the greatest, the dive masters took us to some great locations where we saw a huge population and variety of friendly puffers, lots of rays (bulls eye electric one too!), guitarfish. These were just on the shore dives! The boat captain and his adorable first mate were friendly and helpful. The crew took us to some beautiful rock formations we got to swim through, got to hear the humpback whales singing in the distance. I missed the shadows of the mantas above, but my son got to see them. There was a neat shipwreck and an area of coral reef with tube worms so abundant, it was like gliding over a field of flowers. The night dive was hands down the best night dive ever. The bioluminescent was magical. There were octopus out feeding, star fish were moving around and lots of guitar fish up close and feeding. I had an encounter with a guitar fish that made me sound like one of the humpback whales in the ocean. Over all the staff was super friendly and helpful. The dive masters were patient and knowledgeable. They adjusted the depths based on the temps and visibility, which can change at any moment. The personal attention was above and beyond. I would highly recommend this dive shop if you are in Manzanillo. Thanks Terry and Jonathan!

    Very impressed with the boat and with the crew. We went on a fishing trip and a sunset cruise. Both were tailored experiences and quite different as would be expected. The boats used were very nice. We even caught some mahi (which was delicious). I highly recommend them for your cruising/fishing needs.

    We did several days of surf lessons with our twin 9 year girls and 8 year old boy. Mario had them standing up on surf boards the first day. We did a trip to Barra de Navidad and surfed even bigger waves and again success with the kids. We also hired Mario for snorkelling, rented SUP boards and did a tour to the shipwreck. Great service, great local knowledge and great value for the service. Mario speaks great English and is an excellent teacher with kids.

    Signed up for the learn to scuba dive! Started in the pool with The basics of signals and equipment. Learned how to clear your ear pressure and dived/swam around the pool. Gave me a good enough comfort level to do the open water dives!

    Went out about 30-40mins by boat to do the first of two dives. We had three of us diving, another first timer like myself and a seasoned diver. Geronimo was a great dive instructor for the open water! Spoke excellent English and had a great time with him! Made sure we knew everything we needed to know. On this dive we went to around 35-40 ft down. Absolutely amazing diving! Found starfish, lots of colorful fish, a stingray but he hid. lol. Truly a great adventure.

    I would have given it a 5/5 if the second dive would have been a really different location than just the other side of the cove.

    Definitely would recommend them if you are in the Manzanillo area!

    On Saturday February 5, 2022 I went for a full day on the 30 foot Seahawk. Antonio was the captain and Pepe was the first mate. It was just me. We went way out for big fish like marlin and tuna. Had one Dorado strike on the way out and then nothing until noon when I caught a 15 lb. Yellowtail tuna. And then a little while later hooked a huge tuna that took like 45 minutes to an hour to get in. It was 5 feet long and I estimate it weighed 125 lb. It was huge. They will probably put picture on the website. Antonio and Pepe were great getting me on the fish and getting it in the boat. The boat has radar, depth finder, etc. They cleaned both fish. I gave some to them and another guy and stilled filled up a huge cooler and another smaller one. I have been eating sashimi and grilled tuna for days and with friends. I also froze like 40 lbs. These guys are great. Beautiful boat. John Lang from Minneapolis

    Just got back from a 2 week stay in Manzanillo. We spent 1 week diving with the team at Neptune's. All of the staff members were extremely friendly & professional, especially, Jill, Jeronimo, Jorge and Leah. We had great dives, and saw alot of marine life including turtles, rays, eels, seahorses, and dolphins. The staff was quickly able to assess each divers level of expertise and adjust their plan to suit the needs of all divers aboard. They were very conservative and respected the safety level of all.

    At Scuba Shack, Jonathan took the time to see that our gear fit properly BEFORE we got on the boat. On other trips Iwe've been on, the guide just threw anything handy at us, sometimes they didn't even have the right size. He followed good safety procedures by helping us on board the boat, and when we got to the first snorkeling location, the visibility was so bad (heavy rain the 2 nights before) that he decided to take us farther up to a cove where the visibility was much better. I liked the fact that he took the initiative to find a better area to snorkel, when the ones Scuba Shack advertised were not good. We ended up having a great snorkel, and got to be out extra time because he had to search for a better area to snorkel in. (We also saw a turtle, and dolphins followed the boat for a little bit.)

    We went out with these guys twice. We did a sunset tour on Monday and then went fishing on Thursday. In both instances the team was absolutely fantastic and did a great job of taking care of our needs. The sunset cruise, was phenomenal they great music and beverages on board. Wonderful snacks.as for Fishing, they put us on Fish and we caught 195 pound sale Fish, as well as five Dorado’s. We brought the Dorado’s home and cook them up and had fish tacos the next day as well as my mahi for dinner if you’re in the Manzanillo area make sure you check these guys out. They have great boats.

    While renting a home up the road from Las Hadas, we visited Pacifico Watersports. We were able rent a two person jet ski/wave runner for half an hour. Cost was very affordable--$500 pesos for two people for half an hour. The drawback is you can only use the wave runner in the marina area--you are very restricted due to cargo ships coming into port. We probably won't rent from them anymore due to this problem. We'll go to the other side of the peninsula.
