110% recommend! Getting OW certified with Manuel is a decision I will always be grateful I made! He’s an amazing instructor as much as a really nice person. From a simple question on a Facebook group to getting our certification while weather was not cooperating. Manuel gave us so many confidence by answering all our questions, making sure we understood everything we were doing. Not a single moment we felt like we were like two other students on his schedule! He likes what he’s doing and it shows!! He stayed close to the weather and port situation to make sure we complete our course before we were leaving Cancun. We had a lot of fun in every steps, we felt comfortable through the whole course and are now happy that we will be able to go back dive with him the next time we’re in Cancun! Thank you for everything!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Michelle! I truly appreciate them. You both made this course incredibly easy—your dedication and commitment were evident even before we met. It was a pleasure seeing you so comfortable underwater, and of course, I’ll be seeing you again this summer!

By the way, the maple syrup was delicious, and my wife loved it too. Thank you so, so much!

I had an amazing scuba diving experience with Manuel. From the very beginning, he was professional, patient, and clear with every explanation, which made me feel safe and confident the whole time. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and his enthusiasm is contagious. I got to see so many fish and corals I would have never discovered on my own. I 100% recommend diving with Manuel, especially if it’s your first time or if you’re looking for a guide who genuinely cares about your safety and making sure you enjoy the experience to the fullest. I would definitely do it again!

I did my OpenWater certification with Manuel. He was very patient and help me overcome my inhibitions before and during the dive. I am now a certified PADI diver thanks to Manuel. I liked the training approach and am even contemplating travelling back to Cancun to do my advanced diver certification. I highly recommend Manuel. He is fantastic. In water there are times I was a bit jealous of him. The way he moves in the water would even put the fishes around him to shame. A must do if in Cancun or nearby.

Estimado Manuel A. Pardo Hernandez. Quiero agradecerte sinceramente por brindarme una experiencia tan inolvidable durante mi aventura de buceo. Gracias a tu paciencia, profesionalismo y pasión por el mar, no solo aprendí nuevas habilidades, sino que también me sentí seguro y motivado en cada momento bajo el agua. Tu forma de enseñar, siempre con una sonrisa y una gran disposición, hizo que esta experiencia fuera mucho más que una actividad: fue una conexión real con el mundo submarino. Me llevo recuerdos increíbles y, sobre todo, un profundo respeto por este fascinante entorno. ¡Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento y por hacerlo con tanta dedicación! Sin duda, esta será una experiencia que atesoraré siempre. Con gratitud, José Roberto Valdez Villagomez.

I am so glad I did my Rescue Diver Certification with Manuel. He has so much knowledge and he is the perfect combination of friendly and strict instructor! He was assisting me and taking care of me in my rescue diver journey. Was there for any questions or problems, even after I finished the course. It was so much fun.

Awesome dive with an awesome instructor. We're first time divers and we felt completely safe and prepared to go into the ocean. Lessons start in the pool, which went at our own pace and allowed us to have any questions answered and it made sure we were ready for the open water. Two open ocean dives, with one to the underwater museum, which was fascinating by itself, and one to the reef where we were able to see hundreds of fish. The ship crew were awesome and helpful as well. We loved every minute of it and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!!!!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable diving experience in Cancun, look no further than Manuel at Pardo Divers. I’ve had the pleasure of diving in many places around the world, but Manuel truly stands out as the best instructor I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, Manuel made me feel comfortable, safe, and excited for every dive. His professionalism, deep knowledge of marine life, and calm demeanor underwater made all the difference. Whether you’re a beginner or a certified diver, Manuel tailors the experience to your level, making sure you enjoy every moment. What I appreciated most was his clear communication, attention to detail, and genuine passion for diving. He doesn’t just guide you — he teaches you. Every dive with him was not only fun but also a learning experience. Plus, he knows all the best spots, from vibrant coral reefs to incredible underwater sculptures. Pardo Divers is a fantastic school — well-organized, friendly, and equipped with everything you need. But it’s Manuel who truly makes the difference. If you’re diving in Cancun, don’t miss the chance to learn from the best. Thank you, Manuel, for an amazing experience. I’ll definitely be back!
