Mar y Sierra Cabo Pulmo Scuba Diving about the centre
Located within the Cabo Pulmo marine reserve in Mexico, Mar y Sierra provides a focused diving experience in one of the region's most significant protected ecosystems. The centre has been operating in this area since 2002, bringing over two decades of local knowledge to every excursion.
Operating under the management of the CONANP, the centre maintains a strict commitment to minimising its impact on the fragile reef environment. This dedication to conservation ensures that the diving experience remains high-quality while respecting the natural boundaries of the reserve.
The club and its team
The team is composed of experienced PADI instructors who are also EFR trained. They are specifically certified as dive guides for the Cabo Pulmo marine reserve, ensuring they can navigate the local topography and marine life with precision.
The centre is led by founder Thierry Lannoy, a PADI instructor with more than 20 years of experience in the region and a certified nature guide through the Mexican Secretariat of Tourism. Also part of the team is Manuela Caldarola, who specialises in marine creature research and is known locally for her ability to locate frogfish.
Instruction and guiding are conducted in English, Spanish, and French. To maintain safety and the quality of the dive, the centre avoids mixing divers of different experience levels or certification grades within the same group.
