Kasai Village Dive Resort

I had discover scuba experience last year and planned to maybe do another discover scuba dive one day. Had doubts if ever again. However, when we were in Moalboal my husband proposed to give me open water diver as a gift. I took the opportunity and researched the options. I chose Kasai dive center despite higher than average price because of the great feedbacks left about the instructor Joselito (Tata) Cabaron. I must say it was an excellent choice. This instructor really makes the difference. Very professional and adjusts to the student. He really addressed all my worries, supported me in theory learning and most importantly gave me the skills and the confidence to dive. He is exceptional. If you are considering getting certified – plan and make sure to book this instructor. It is a crucial choice. As a student I had lots of worries and concerns but after the course I had another 2 dives at different locations, and it felt great. I had the skills to address all the circumstances (current, breathing regulator pushed out of my mouth by another diver accidentally, lower visibility, different equipment…). Long story short: if you are lucky to be in Moalboal reach to Kasai in advance and book Joselito Tata Cabaron. Thank me later.

Excellent dive center with the most competent and service-minded dive instructors/masters, even for advanced technical diving. The guides know every secret hideaway for shrimps, scorpionfish as well moray eels. The center has perhaps the quietest and biggest dive boat in Moalboal, which can hold 20-some divers for two dives and even has a toilet (Philippine standard). This gives you plenty of space to move around since we were never close to full. The house reef is a great spot! The resort is very functional and of a good standard and clean. Really nice pool area, great AC in the rooms, and the sea rooms give you a spectacular view of the sunset with a cold one from the fridge next to you. Not the fastest but nicest bar and restaurant staff. Overall good food with some delicious favorites (spring rolls, chicken noodles, and hot gambas). Kasai Village Dive Resort comes with my highest recommendations! (We were a group of nine Swedish divers staying for 11 nights).

We knew that in December a terrible typhoon had destroyed this coast, yet we were amazed at the damage. The resort is in a beautiful location for divers. As a non-diver I would not readily advise staying here. During our stay the pool and bar could not be used. The end of the pier is also damaged and unusable. The fully renovated boat was already ready, but was not yet usable due to missing inspection. Unfortunately there were only a few guests during our stay. This is very luxurious for diving, but feels a bit pathetic for staff (in restaurant) who are available all day for you. Incredibly nice and helpful staff. Divemasters are top notch. Up to 5 meters all coral is destroyed. Snorkeling on the house reef is therefore not very exciting. On the other hand, the night dive was great. The resort will be back to full strength soon. Support the staff and come here to enjoy a nice stay and beautiful diving on the coast and at Pescador Island.

Excellent place with a superb sunset view, probably the best in moalboal. the place is great and all the staff go out of their way to make sure you are supported for all the needs at the resort and for your holiday in general. The rooms are spacious and convenient. The only thing missing is... more visitors. Thanks to the entire team for making our stay such a pleasure. We will surely be back:-)
