Super great diving school with a delicious restaurant (very good pizza from the stone oven) and pool.We stayed here for 4 nights and we really enjoyed it.For diving:There are many boats and if you go diving directly in Padangbai, you are often alone on the boat. Here too you have the chance of Mola-Molas (the boat in front of us saw them...).When you go diving you always get a delicious lunch from the restaurant, there are snacks (fruits), tea and coffee. There is also a towel for everyone :) everything is very tasty and great!The boats are also in good condition, there are also boats to Nusa Penida every day, but there are a lot of divers there (from everywhere).Michael is very nice, always really helpful and takes care of everyone's needs :) Even if there are large groups, the needs of individuals are taken into account!I can warmly recommend the diving school!Rooms and restaurant:Our room was clean, we had a large water canister in the room (free). The room was cleaned every day and there were new towels every two days :)The restaurant is very good, everything was super tasty and the pizza from the stone oven was super tasty by Asian standards. The service was always courteous and nice.Additionally, you can mention that there is a great massage right on site :)

A wonderful diving center (6 dives completed) with a brilliant restaurant. No matter what you order, whether steak, pasta or pizza, it is WORLD CLASS. (I ate there almost every evening) Many thanks to the great managers Masih and Michael, who design this place so lovingly.

We had a fabulous stay for the last week of August at Absolute Scuba. We were in a garden bungalow, and was pleasantly surprised at how spacious it was and the aircon is very effective. It is simple and clean. The outdoor bathroom was prettier than it looked on the website with a large space that was good for drying our swimmers etc. The resort is good value and has a very friendly vibe. The staff were amazing, always there to feed you and serve drinks with great humour. Michael and Masih were wonderful hosts. We were actually diving through another shop, but from what i saw i would not hesitate to dive with Absolute. They had morning and afternoon options, the dive guides were professional but also really enthusiastic. There was a large indoor area to dry all the gear. The pool at the resort was fantastic, the main section is 3m deep to enable scuba training. I highly recommend staying here, if you're wanting a community type feel (ie Michael and Masih will chat to you even whilst they are off-duty and enjoying their breakfast and the rest of the staff were so much fun, we got talking to quite a few other guests too.). Thanks all, i hope we can return one day!

Absolutely absolutely recommended. I dived with them today and I really enjoyed it. They don't lack any detail, the food is delicious, everything is well organized and, above all, the staff is super friendly and attentive. Masih and Michael, in addition to being lovely, made it very easy to book at the last minute. Ah! and the diving, super beautiful. Next time in Bali, I no longer have to look for where to dive. See you soon!

Absolute Scuba in Padang Bai is a very well-equipped diving school that also offers snorkeling options, which we were very pleased about.What should be highlighted is the extremely friendly and hard-working staff at the diving school. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a great day and we felt very comfortable! We can only recommend it!
