PADI Open Water: Education Course, PADI Boat Diver Course, Boat Diving Education Course

The Absolute Scuba Bali PADI Open Water plus PADI Boat Diving course consists of performance based learning. Using audio visuals, textbooks with knowledge review questions and quizzes to test your knowledge we can reduce the time you spend sitting behind a desk in the classroom.

Our PADI Instructors will work with you through each session, elaborate on the audio visuals and review your knowledge with quizzes. You will need to read the assigned sections prior to the five academic sessions, your PADI Instructor and the shop staff will advise you what sections you need to read.

As part of the Absolute Scuba Bali commitment to your safe diving education we include a PADI Advanced Diver text book with your PADI Open Water plus **PADI Boat Diving course pack. This is to allow you to gain even more knowledge and provide you with the opportunity for more on-going PADI Advanced training after your PADI Diving course. On course completion of your PADI Open Water plus **PADI Boat Diving Course you will be issued with PADI Boat Diver Specialty certification as well as your PADI Open Water certification.

PADI Open Water: Have Experience, Pool Dive, Open Water Dive, Boat Based, Shores Based Experience

The performance based learning system means that the course you are about to undertake is practically orientated to get you out of the classroom and spend more time in the water. With our pool we can offer the five individual confined water modules that move at a comfortable pace.

Absolute Scuba Bali will provide **six open water dives, 4 boat dives and 2** Shore Dives. The dives must be done in order one to four, then 5 & 6 and if you miss any of these dives, will be charged to make them up. You must complete all 4 dives to receive your PADI certification. The cost of these dives will include instructor and the use of equipment. Dive 5 & 6 are PADI specialty certification

 

In our local area ( Bali / Blue Lagoon) a vast majority of the better Bali Dive Sites are accessed by boat. Absolute Scuba Bali Open Water plus ** PADI Boat Diving course has four boat dives and includes all the academic and practical skills to provide you with a PADI Boat Diving specialty rating

At end of your course we believe you will be a safe diver but you still won't a have a full range of training to cover all Bali Diving conditions For example, wreck diving, night diving and deep diving all require that additional training should be undertaken to gain experience and education in these specific areas.

The PADI Boat Diving specialty rating you will receive is a step towards PADI Advanced Diver training which will give you more experience and education. Your PADI Instructor will advise you of more details during the PADI Dive Course and make sure that you are aware of the options available to you for future PADI Continuing Education

It is essential that your skills be put to good use on a regular basis. If you don't have the opportunity to dive for a long period of time and you feel a lack of confidence, you may consider a PADI Scuba review or other at-home study program to refresh and hone your skills. Of course Absolute Scuba Bali can arrange specific refresher programs to suit most life-styles so if you have doubts give us a call.

"The aspect of the PADI Diver Course Bali , which sets the Absolute Scuba Bali standard higher than other Diver Program in Bali , is the amount of in-water training time on our PADI Basic courses."

"The Absolute Scuba Indonesia facility at Padang Bai provides an ideal Diver Training ground for all of PADI open water diving as well PADI Specialty Instruction like PADI Wreck diver , PADI Nitrox diver , PADI Deep diver & PADI Underwater Naturalist ."
