Why dive here
With 165+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, sea turtles, sperm whales and whale sharks - Kasa offers some of Mafia Island's richest cave diving. Water ranges 26-29°C, warmest February, March, April.
Kasa is a good site for an easy dive, often shallow and quite colourful. We've regularly seen mature green turtles here, sometimes grazing in the seagrass near the reef edge, which is always a treat. Keep an eye out for black-tipped silver-biddies and the occasional dusky shark cruising by. While the site itself is pleasant, expect some decent currents, especially if you're hoping for a pelagic sighting. It's a nice, relaxed spot, especially for a second dive.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
