Facilities

Our training facility, just a few minutes from white sandy beaches, and is located on two acres of peaceful, secluded tropical setting and provides the ultimate setting for your Instructor training. The facility is completely self-contained and includes a classroom, training pool, and accommodation.  The easy accessibility of the classroom provides the ideal venue for you to study or prepare your IDC assignments after normal class hours. Our beautiful on-site training pool is a convenient setting for perfecting your confined water skills at any time during your stay at Absolute Scuba Padang Bai
Open water training for our Instructor Development Courses is conducted at Blue Lagoon only 5 minutes by boat from our facility.  Blue lagoon provides a more stable and predictable teaching environment which is not affected by the weather problems we might face if using an exposed ocean location. Its close proximity to our facility preserves valuable training time otherwise spent on travel.  Blue Lagoon is also used by Absolute Scuba for conducting the open water section of most PADI courses.

Accommodation and Meals Included

When budgeting for your career training, not only do you normally have to take into consideration the fees for the courses you will be taking, you also have to account for the additional costs of hotel accommodation, meals, and possibly car rental.  If you were planning to take courses over a three week period these additional costs could be substantial. However, when you take a training program at Absolute Scuba which includes our Instructor Development Course (IDC), you will be entitled to FREE accommodation and meals Breakfast & Lunch for the duration of your stay with us. This offer for free accommodation is only available for the first eight candidates at each IDC, on a first-come, first-served basis.
When taking courses at other facilities you will waste considerable time and effort traveling back and forth between your hotel - the training center - training pool & open water sessions, as well as trying to organize your meals. At Absolute Scuba we have eliminated these problems, allowing you to concentrate on your career training, not on logistics. You will find that we are the ONLY PADI Instructor Development Center which has true on-site accommodation and meals included in our training programs. We invite you to calculate the savings you will personally make when taking your training with Absolute Scuba .  If you are planning to take additional courses with us immediately after being successful at the  PADI Instructor Examination, the costs you will save on accommodation and meals alone will probably pay for these courses
