SCUBA COURSE

Learn to dive and discover a whole new world beneath the waves.

Dive into Adventure

Dive into Adventure

Your PADI Open Water Diver certification is a passport to lifelong Adventures in the Liquid World.

Scuba diving licenses or certifications are International SCUBA dive training courses run by SCUBA diving professionals who have certified from Federations like PADI, CMAS, SSI, NAUI etc. These courses are standardised, follow international regulations and it doesn’t matter where you learn to dive so your license is an International Diving license; valid all over the world and for the rest of your Life.

Absolute Scuba Pune is a PADI and CMAS Scuba Diving Training in-land Dive Centre and we specialise in offering you the best SCUBA diving lessons and training for your SCUBA adventures. Why dive in a pool in a land-locked city? It may sound ridiculous and is a fairly valid question. Sit back for a moment and imagine this with us. You’re on vacation, say in the Maldives, and you can see the ocean from your room window.

Blue skies, white sand, the sun dancing on the ocean. And you’ve been informed that your PADI course begins tomorrow. You’re thinking, “Oh boy, I can’t wait to explore the ocean!” Tomorrow begins, and you find out you have to start out in the Resort’s swimming pool for the first day. Moreover, there’s theory to do and Exams to take! %#&@! You just ended up paying for things you didn’t even want to do on your vacation in the first place.

Training in your own city doesn’t seem so ridiculous anymore, does it?
All courses offered are standardised – no matter where you go in the world, they have to teach you the same thing. The best part of training in the city is that you save on two of the most valuable things – time and money.

You can learn the theory at your own pace, and from the comfort of your own home. The weekend pool dives serve as an effective breakaway from the chaos of the city. Moreover, we can take our time and help you get more comfortable with the gear and skills if needed. We offer a student instructor ratio of 6:1, at the maximum, ensuring proper attention is given to every student. The PADI Open water course is easily one of the most popular Recreational Diving Courses globally and is your passport to the “certified diver” fraternity.

Designed to take a beginner through the stages of converting into an independent SCUBA Diver, the Open Water license is your first true step into the beauty and magic of the Oceans. As long as you are 10 and above, can swim 200 meters freely using any swimming stroke, and tread water for about 10 minutes, you are eligible to sign up for the PADI Open Water Diver Course. 10-15 year old earn the Junior Open Water diver certification allowing them to dive to 12 meters while everyone above 15 years dives to 18 meters / 60 feet below.

The PADI Open Water Diver Course has 3 modules to complete within a Year of starting. 

Scuba diving certifications, recognized globally by organizations like PADI, CMAS, SSI, NAUI, ensure standardized training, making your license valid worldwide. At Absolute Scuba Pune, we specialize in providing top-quality SCUBA diving lessons tailored to your adventure needs.

Why start your diving journey in a landlocked city? Imagine being on vacation in the Maldives, eagerly anticipating ocean exploration, only to find your first day’s training in a resort pool. Training locally saves time and money while offering the same standardized courses. Our flexible learning approach allows you to study theory at your own pace while weekend pool sessions provide a refreshing escape from city life. With a maximum student-instructor ratio of 6:1, personalized attention is guaranteed.

The PADI Open Water course, a globally popular choice, transforms beginners into independent SCUBA divers. Eligible participants aged 10 and above, capable of swimming 200 meters and treading water for 10 minutes, can enroll.The course comprises three modules to complete within a year, offering a comprehensive introduction to the beauty and magic of the oceans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover interesting facts and get answers to common questions about scuba diving.

Scuba diving is form of underwater diving where divers use self- contained underwater breathing appratus to breathe underwater.

Scuba diving can be safe when proper training, equipment, and guidelines are followed. It is important to learn from certified instructors, dive within your limits, and always adhere to safety protocols to minimize risks.
Basic scuba diving equipment includes a mask, snorkel, fins, buoyancy control device (BCD), regulator, and dive computer. Depending on the type of diving and environment, additional gear like wetsuits, dive lights, and underwater cameras may be required.
The depth at which you can dive depends on your certification level. Beginner divers typically start with shallow dives around 40 feet, while advanced divers can explore depths of up to 130 feet or more with proper training and experience.
Scuba diving offers numerous benefits, including stress relief, improved fitness and flexibility, opportunities for adventure and exploration, and a deeper connection with nature. It can also enhance your knowledge of marine life and ecosystems.

PADI Courses for Juniors & Swimmers

PADI Seal Team (Age 8 and above)

Start them Young and watch them Grow. The same stands true
with PADI’s Seal Team course for Juniors. Its simple MISSIONS to accomplish and a great deal of fun
to claim makes this course a healthy introduction to the joys of SCUBA for kids. With our flexible
schedules, this course can be the perfect Birthday treat (or PARTY!) Successfully completing all
Missions awards students with the big-league Seal Team license card to flaunt.

PADI Skin Diver (Age 8 and above):

The simplest way to explore shallow reefs and the mighty oceans
is to snorkel and Free Dive (breath hold diving). The PADI SKIN DIVER course takes your basic
snorkelling lesson to another level. The course includes 3 hours of focussed attention on
understanding snorkelling equipment, breathing & finning techniques, treading water and free
diving techniques in our customised Deep diving pool (20 feet). The “Absolute” experience includes
extended Theory sessions and videos on safe practices while snorkelling and Free Diving.

PADI SCUBA Diver Course (For Swimmers)

The PADI system of certification allows for a flexible approach to certifying as a SCUBA diver.
There is a contingency plan for any student that may either not have all the 4 days necessary to
complete the PADI Open Water Diver Course or may want to stage the Certification process over a slower pace of Certification.

This is where the PADI SCUBA Diver certification steps in.
A subset of the PADI Open Water Diver course, the SCUBA diver course requires only 2 days and
certifies a student with a license that allows SCUBA diving to 12 meters with a Dive Professional as a buddy.

Perfect for short holidays to SCUBA diving destinations, the SCUBA diver course requires a student to:
1. Complete 1 day of Pool Training with half the skills of the Open Water diver course
2. Complete only the first 3 chapters of the manual as reviews with the Instructor (no Final exam)
3. Complete 1 day of Open Water diving with 2 training dives to demonstrate mastery in certain skill sets only.

The SCUBA diver certification can be upgraded at any PADI dive centre in the World by simply:
1. Completing day 2 of remaining pool skills
2. Completing chapters 4 & 5 of the PADI Open Water Diver course manual and the Final Exam
3. Completing day 2 of the open water training dives.

Absolute Scuba Pune encourages the PADI Scuba Diver course to anyone who has lesser time
available on a holiday or simply wants to take their time mastering their SCUBA skills.

PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course

Continue your SCUBA education and certify to reach greater Depths and diversity in your Diving with
the PADI Advanced Open Water Course.

Eligible for certified PADI Open or Junior open water divers, the Advanced course takes one into 5
specialised “Adventure” dives and greater confidence to handle different diving scenarios.

Apart from the 2 mandatory dives : a Deep dive to 30 meters and the Advanced Compass Navigation
dives, students have the option of selecting 3 special Adventure dives from a range of dives.

Choices could be made between Night Dive, Wreck Dive, Enriched Air (Nitrox) dive, Underwater
photography / videography, Peak Performance Buoyancy dive, Project AWARE dive to the Cavern
dive or Drift dive. There’s even a dive where one can learn to handle the underwater scooters (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) !

There is no exam for the PADI Advanced Open Water Course, just reviews of the 5 chapters in the
course manual with the Instructor.

The PADI Advanced Open Water diver certification allows deeper diving and may also be required
for certain SCUBA diving destinations or dive sites that require a greater level of experience as opposed to the Open Water diver skills.

EFR (Emergency First Response) – Open to All Divers and Non-Divers

This ONE day land based course is not only a pre-requisite for the next SCUBA course a diver can

both on land as well as while SCUBA diving.

performances. It teaches everything from Primary care to Secondary Care for adults and children
and gives confidence during an emergency to call upon trained skills.

PADI Rescue Diver Course

Experienced SCUBA divers or SCUBA diving professionals often describe the PADI Rescue Diver
course as the most challenging and rewarding course they’ve ever taken. It’s because you learn to
recognise, prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed.

During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they
become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning.

Your eligibility pre-requisites are to hold a valid Emergency First Response certification and PADI
Advanced Open Water Diver certification.

The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with most levels of diving emergencies, using a
variety of techniques. Through theoretical knowledge development and hands on in-water rescue
scenarios, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into
practice your knowledge and skills.

Topics include:
1. Self-rescue scenarios
2. Recognizing and managing stress in other divers – surface and underwater Not OK situations
3. Emergency management and equipment – first aid, emergency action plans, oxygen use
4. Rescuing panicked divers – surface and underwater
5. Rescuing unresponsive divers – surface and underwater

As you can imagine, a PADI rescue Diver certification is a hard-earned and well-deserved certification
and signals that you have gone into the next level of your love for SCUBA Diving; you not only enjoy
its many life-enriching benefits, you also have the confidence, training and outlook of a responder to
situations going out of hand while SCUBA diving.

Absolute Scuba Pune encourages continued education in SCUBA diving and the need for every diver
to become more self-sufficient as well as a better buddy.

Take the PADI Rescue Diver challenge if you’re ready for it and take your SCUBA to the next level.

Suunto

Suunto Sport Diving Computers. Since 1936.

Every Certified Diver will eventually trust a Dive Computer or Dive Watch to give valuable and necessary information about their SCUBA diving. From how much “No Fly Time” remains to “Surface Intervals” and “Desaturation Time left”. Sounds like a lot of complicated jargon to the Novice but is standard, everyday lingo amidst Recreational SCUBA divers. Thanks to today’s SCUBA diving computers, the sport has become an easier, more fun and safer hobby for everyone. Like any other high altitude Sport or Aviation related precision instruments, the Sport Diving Computer must also be a precise, reliable, pressure – resistant and Safe instrument. And SUUNTO is one of the Best names in Recreational SCUBA diving computers and dive watches. The word “Suunto” (pronounced “Soon-toh”) comes from the Finnish word meaning “Direction”.

Suunto was born in Finland more than 75 years ago, when championship-level orienteer and keen outdoor enthusiast Tuomas Vohlonen invented the mass production method for the liquid filled compass. Since then, Suunto has been at the forefront of innovation, hand crafting premium sports watches, instruments and dive computers that have been tested in the world’s harshest and most challenging conditions.

Since 1936, Suunto today caters to over 12 different Sports and is a World leader known for its rugged and sturdy designs, ultra-reliable functioning and innovative algorithms to add Safety using scientific data to everyday sports and related requirements.

Be it Free Diving, SCUBA diving or Mixed Gas Technical Diving; there’s a SUUNTO for every level of diver. The same for Swimming, Climbing, Cycling, Rafting, Hunting or even Fishing; there’s a SUUNTO computer for all. In the 1980s Suunto becomes the world leader in the manufacture of diving instruments. Suunto’s first dive computer, Suunto SME-ML, is launched in 1987 and completely revolutionizes the sport. Previously divers had to calculate times using diving tables. Today Suunto is still based in Finland where most of their products are designed and hand crafted with pride in their flagship factory outside Helsinki. They remain committed to providing adventurers and sports enthusiasts with the best tools to explore and conquer new territory from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans – and anywhere in between. Absolute Scuba promotes and encourages the safe use of SCUBA diving computers and uses the SUUNTO diving computers for safe and reliable dive planning.

Aqualung

Aqualung. Since 1942.

Aqua Lung is the name that first introduced the world to Recreational Scuba diving more than 60 years ago when the legendary Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau and partner Émile Gagnan developed the first "Aqua-Lung, a “demand valve based” breathing apparatus that, attached to a Scuba diving cylinder, disconnected the diver from Surface Supply or the “Umbilical” as it is called.

This was truly the start of SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus), the trigger to revolutionize underwater exploration and Recreational Sport or SCUBA diving. The excitement and adventurous spirit of those Pioneering first dives continues even today and is reflected in Aqua Lung's dedication to superior quality and innovation in the manufacturing of the world's best professional and recreational scuba diving equipment.
