Spondylus Dive Center

Had an amazing dive here! Carlos as instructor and Maurice as dive partner, both were superb and gave me the best experience exploring the reef around Los Órganos. Will definitely return!

Such an incredible experience getting my PADI Open Water certification with Maurice and his team at Spondylus! They are all so kind and accommodating. Would definitely recommend diving with Spondylus.

Had an absolutely amazing experience with a “discover scuba diving” day with Maurice! The training at the pool the day before was really helpful and Carlos gave a lot of information.
The day we had scheduled our trip conditions were not good, so we had to reschedule, which was easily handled by Jessica. So we went out the next day again and this day we could go for the dive.
I had such a great time with the guys and it felt more like friends than strangers. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience and for your open hearts!

We had a great diving experience at the old oil-platform! :)
The booking process was easy and we felt safe during the dives.
We saw many fish, a seal and even a whale shark!!! Also we were able to hear the songs of humpback whales.

Had a great experience with Maurice and the team! Everyone was extremely friendly and they accommodated us when we had to reschedule due to illness. We learned so much and got to see plenty of fish and sea turtles. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

An amazing experience diving 10 metres to the reef at Punta Veleros, Órganos with Spondylus. It was my first time scuba diving (DSD) and it felt great, the instructor Carlos was super clear with all instructions and we felt 100% safe all the time, he even took pictures and videos of us underwater. We saw octopi changing colours, huge urchins and blowfish, diversity of corals, several fish banks, even Dolly made an appearance. I felt like an astronaut exploring another planet! Very recommended if you are visiting Máncora or near the north shore of Peru.

Great experience with spondylus, either for the booking part than the diving session itself. The team is really nice, accessible and joyful.
It have been really simple to arrange the diving session and I have been well guided when it came to diving.
Great moment of my trip in Máncora.
I recommend.

Amazing scubadiving experience with Mauricio and the Spondylus team. Two fun dives in the abandoned petrole station, full of fishes and colors. There was current the morning we were there, but the instructor was super good to help us in the water. I felt safe and confident during all the experience.

Great team, they really know their business. Punctual, and professional. Good, new gear, nice boat and amazing crew.
Finally got to see a seahorse!

I did my PADI license with Spondylus and it was a great experience. Maurice (the owner) first went thoroughly through the theory and then we had one dive in the pool. The facilities were good and I felt very safe. After the dive we went for lunch, he took me to join some of his friends at a local restaurant. The two days after we had great dives where Maurice was an excellent teacher. During the dives it was murky, but the corals and life underwater was exceptional. I saw two sea turtles and from the boat we saw humpback whales and sea lions. Very cool experience and would absolutely recommend doing your license or other dives here!

Great experience in northern Peru. I have dived with them for years now, and Los Organos has one of my favorite spots to dive in Peru. The MX1 oil rig spot has both, deepness and biodiverisity, so if you love deep dives and to see lots of colorful fishes, invertebrates, and occasional mega fauna THIS IS YOUR PLACE! ♥♥♥

Maurice and his team are absolutly amazing!

The introduction course was fantastic. Super professional and great English too! We felt safe and looked after the entire time. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is even remotely interested.
Thanks so much!

I cannot even begin to describe what an amazing experience my sister and I had with Spondylus!! It was my first time scuba diving and I felt completely safe and secure in their care. The instruction was clear (even as an English speaking person), and the instructors and staff were extremely kind, professional and friendly. We saw the most amazing underwater wild life too! We saw sea horses, octopus, sea lions, tons of bright fish, whales, and turtles.
The scuba gear was easy to work and they helped us get into our gear so we were super safe.
I would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a once in a life time water experience. We will be using their services again!

Everyone at Spondylus made us feel comfortable from start to finish. They were super good at communication and during my open water dive made me feel completely at ease while making diving fun! I would 100% recommend learning with Spondylus. A bonus is that they let us stay for free in the dive center for three nights with their cats and dog 😊 thank you again Spondylus!!

Where to begin!! Maurice, Juan and Carlos are AMAZING!!!! They made me feel extremely comfortable being in the water and getting my open water certification. Maurice even kept me extremely calm even when I had a little freak out moment under water with my mask. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and really funny. Also, he is a great instructor, he made everything sooooo easy to understand.

All of their equipment is up to date, safety checked and in great condition. He even had a 7mm wetsuit for me because I was so cold!! He made sure we were taken care of from beginning to end.

Oh! And on our dives we saw octopus, sea lions, saw whales, turtles and seahorses! Such an amazing experience and I’m so glad I choose them! Thank you Maurice!!

I'm really in love with Peru and I didn't know that was possible to dive there before I find Spondylus Dive Shop when I was walking by Mancora's streets. This shop are doing a really nice job out there, bringing a fun experience in a place that is known by your cold waters. The dive site is very unusual and interesting. I had a lot of fun with Spondylus' team. Thank you again :)

Great time. I freedove with their Snorkeling package while the rest of the group scuba'ed. We also swam with turtles after and saw a few whales in the morning

What a great place to learn scuba diving, I completed my advanced open water with the spondylus crew. Great wreck diving off mancora, instructors were really cool and made everyone feel like a pro. Added benefit the guys let us stay for free in the dive shops accomodation during our training. Absolute legends

The place to go for people who wanna want to dive In Mancora.

We had the pleasure of taking our PADI, at Spondylus.

Great helpfull staff, amazing and funny instructor, all in all a great experience.

I highly recommend this place.

An incredible place to attain your PADI certification! Came out with my AOW and was extremely pleased by the incredible group of kind and hard working people leading Spondylus! Maurice is a great instructor and Carlos is a fantastic assistant! Meanwhile, Naty, the coordinator is always attentive via WhatsApp to accommodate your needs. Overall an incredible diving experience! Even after 8 dives completed in Los Organos with Spondylus, the MX-1 (Retired Petroleum Platform) never ceased to amaze me. Diving into its depths between the columns was incredible and surprising to see so much wildlife!
