How it Works

PADI courses are performance-based diver training programs, emphasizing practical knowledge, safety, and motor skills at the introductory level. The basics of diving physics and physiology are introduced, with detailed concepts addressed in subsequent courses as needed.

The PADI training system comprises modules with internationally standardized learning objectives, covering theory and practical skills development. Each module is a stand-alone course, leading to certification upon successful completion. Theory is reinforced through self-study options supplemented with video and live instruction.

Mastery is confirmed via knowledge review sessions and practical evaluations by a scuba instructor. Practical skills are honed through confined water training and evaluations in open water. PADI courses are recognized globally for recreational and vocational diving. Additionally, PADI offers Primary & Secondary care programs in CPR and first aid.

 Verified Amazing first time but a lifetime Scuba Experience
Scuba has been one of my dreams , which went on a back burner bcz life happened. But finally after so many years I finally found time for this dream. And I am glad it was with Absolute Scuba and especially with Akshar as our trainer. He made sure every moment was worth it. Akshar was an awesome trainer very friendly at the same time making sure he doesn’t compromise on any skills as it’s our life and underwater life is risky and challenging. But I feel very satisfied and confident that I have learnt the skills and confident to practice them in open waters. All the people whom I interacted from the Absolute Scuba team were very helpful , prompt and very happy to turn and twist to make sure we are happy and enjoy this experience. Another note I got my own equipment which was slightly damaged still I wanted to use it ,Akshar quickly helped to fix and allowed me to use them, also the part which can’t be fixed since it was risky he replaced with part from the dive centre and allowed me to be comfortable with my equipment. ……Thanks a ton and I look forward to share more dive experiences with them together in open waters.

 Verified Fun, Professional and Safe!
If you are looking for Suba Diving experience or looking to get your Scuba diving certifications (PADI associated) in Pune and nearby, look no further than absolute scuba! The instructors and dive masters here are extremely helpful, fun and very knowledgeable. I enrolled for PADI open water dive course and finished my module 1 and 2 sessions in confined water. Will be completing my open water (module 3 & 4) dives in one of the coming weekends Akshay was my dive instructor and did a thorough handholding throughout the 2 days. They have a 50m swimming pool which is perfect to perform all skills as well as do all the finning and underwater mobility exercises. I highly recommend Absolute Scuba!!

  Wonderful experience and very professional dive instructors. Shoutout to Akshay for helping us become good divers! 💪🏻

I chose to dive with Absolute Scuba over many other options of dive centers. My first ever dive trip and it was handled with class and complete professionalism by Seemant and Siddharth. They are an awesome team. We were 4 of us and dived with Absolute Scuba in Thailand where we completed our PADI Open and Advanced open water course. They specialize in Dive travel to various exotic dive destination in the world and are very good at their planning and execution. Highly recommended. I have signed up for 2 more trips with Absolute and will continue to dive with them. Heartfelt appreciation.

The PADI OWD training course conducted by Absolute Scuba is a comprehensive, well planned and systematic Scuba diving course which comprises of confined water training, Theoretical Knowledge reviews and Open water training in the seas. Siddharth and Seemant are doing a real good job!! It has been a wonderful experience.....especially the three days of open water diving at Phuket!! Most memorable trip......and looking forward for many more.....

Phuket was an awesome dive destination with Absolute Scuba, Pune. 1. Arrangements were good: Travel documents, airport to hotel transport, stay at resort, visit to dive accessories shop. Siddharth was also very helpful in getting/ guiding on other things required. 2. Scuba diving: Perfect accessories and scintillating instructor. Absolute scuba is highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn the sport as you get rooted unbiased strict instructor making sure u get the thing right. 3. Overall trip: Unforgettable! Will be more than happy to go with Absolute again :). Thanks to Siddharth, Seemant and Akshay.

I did my OWD last year in Goa with Absolute Scuba and AOWD with them this month in Lakshwadeep. Both the trips were amazing, perfectly planned and executed by the awesome duo of Sid and Seemant. Lakshwadeep especially was a dream come true, surreal. The dives were fantastic. Seemant has no equal in what he does best, that is to teach to dive. There are instructors who teach and then there are some like Seemant who make you fall in love with the sea and scuba diving. This aspect ensures that even the surface intervals turn out to be mesmerising. Overall the experience has been very enriching. Thanks Absolute Scuba.

Seemant's patient and perceptive guidance is hard found, as is his wealth of experience. Sid's genial promptness made all the bookings/paperwork a breeze(including a great recommendation for a dive shop in Thailand which turned out to be our best experience there). They are thorough professionals and mindful teachers. The very best in our waters. In fact, we're from Bombay but chose to stay a weekend in Pune to complete the course and are glad that we did. Absolute Scuba is the absolute best place we could have chosen to begin our scuba journey.
