Kasai Village Dive Resort

Although Kasai Dive Resort is a bit outside it’s a nice place for snorkeling a d diving. Their shop is well equipped and you can dive directly at the Kasai Wall down from the pier. You will find many animals there. You can walk to MoalBoal or take the tricycle for low costs. The breakfast is nice and the rooms have AC and are okay.

Location: Kasai Village Dive Resort, Cebu-Moalboal, Philippines After traveling through the Caribbean, I made my way to the Philippines for a solo dive trip to Cebu-Moalboal in February 2025. I stayed at Kasai Village Dive Resort, located south of Cebu International Airport. The resort is a bit of a drive away, approximately 2 to 4 hours, due to traffic from Cebu to Moalboal. That said, the resort offers an excellent service where they can arrange a driver to take you to and from the airport, making your trip relaxed and stress-free. The resort is nestled north of Moalboal, right next to Panagsama Beach, offering a serene, tropical atmosphere. The location is convenient for exploring the area, with easy access to local attractions. The resort offered a quiet peaceful vibe and I appreciated being just a short tuk-tuk ride from the Panagsama Beach and the restaurants and nightlife. Vehicles & Transportation Parking at the resort is free. However, unless you're familiar with driving in the Philippines or Southeast Asia, I personally wouldn’t recommend renting a vehicle. The road size/conditions can be unpredictable, and you’ll need to navigate where to park, tuk-tuks, motorbikes, and even stray dogs. For those who are adventurous, the resort does offer motorbike rentals. If you prefer to avoid the stress of driving, Kasai Village Dive Resort provides tuk-tuk transportation that can be called 24 hours a day, ready to take you to Panagsama Beach or anywhere else nearby. It’s a excellent option if you want to relax and leave the navigating to someone else. Resort to Panagsama Beach The resort is located about a 30-minute walk from Panagsama Beach, or just a 5-minute tuk-tuk ride (200 Peso). However, it's worth noting that the main road to the resort is approximately 1/4 miles, and it’s not lit. The road itself is in moderate to poor condition, so if you’re walking or driving after dark, be prepared for uneven terrain. I personally opted for the tuk-tuk, which was a quick and convenient. Resort Kasai Village Dive Resort is a small, intimate property with approximately 15 rooms, many of which offer views overlooking the water. There is NO BEACH, but I did witness at low tide, families walking along the exposed sea bottom looking for shells. The included WIFI was extremely fast and worked across the entire property. The resort features a decent-sized pool and attached hot tub, with plenty of seating. While the pool itself could use a bit of maintenance (a fresh coat of paint wouldn’t hurt), it didn’t seem to bother any of the other guests. Everyone seemed to be enjoying it just fine. There is also a small restaurant and an adjacent hotel bar, both of which overlook the water. I only dined at the restaurant for breakfast, but the menu was reasonably priced and offered a nice variety of options. The quality of the food was good, and it was a convenient way to start my day before heading out for a dive. The grounds were well-kept, and the

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.
