Casalay Divers

Tucked along a serene beachfront cove away from the crowds of the main town, Casalay Divers opens the door to the world-class diving of Puerto Galera, Philippines. As a PADI Resort with two PADI Instructors and a friendly, safety-conscious team, it's a welcoming base for divers of every level — and a calm one for those who want their dive holiday surrounded by lush gardens rather than bustle.

Courses, sites and what to expect

Beginners can find their feet in the onsite training pool before heading out, while 23 courses and activities cover the full spectrum — from an early 8AM Fun Dive (from USD 40) and multi-dive packages to PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, Deep Diver, ReActivate refreshers and Emergency First Response. The team guides divers across some of the most biodiverse sites in the country, including the Verde Island Passage.

Explore local favourites such as Manila Channel, Dungon Wall, The Seagrass, Washing Machine, Giant Clam and Small La Laguna. With a house reef, dive boat, Nitrox, equipment rental and staff speaking English, Chinese and Filipino, Casalay suits travellers chasing rich marine life — sharks, turtles, eels, molluscs, corals and more — in a relaxed setting.
