Absolute Scuba Bali is proud to be a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort — the highest level of PADI recognition, reflecting our commitment to excellence in diving education, safety, and customer experience. Bali's underwater world offers everything a diver could dream of. At our local house reefs in Padangbai, you'll find colourful coral bommies teeming with tropical reef fish, stunning wall dives, excellent muck diving, and regular sightings of sea turtles and reef sharks. Visibility is generally good and currents are gentle, making Padangbai an ideal base for divers of all levels. From here, Absolute Scuba Bali provides easy access to some of Bali's most celebrated dive sites — from the famous USAT Liberty wreck at Tulamben to the majestic Manta Rays of Nusa Penida.

Your safety is our absolute priority. Absolute Scuba Bali operates as a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort and adheres strictly to PADI's internationally recognised safety standards on every dive. Our qualified instructors and divemasters conduct thorough pre-dive briefings, maintain all equipment to a rigorous service schedule, and keep group sizes small — a maximum of 4 divers per guide — to ensure every diver receives individual attention. Whether you are a first-time Try Diver or an experienced technical diver, you can explore Bali's waters knowing you are in safe, professional hands.

We use Cressi and Aqualung regulators and BCDs, paired with Suunto Zoop Novo dive computers. All equipment is maintained to a high standard and available for rental. Full set with dive computer: IDR 200,000 per day. Full set without computer: IDR 175,000 per day.

As the sun sets over Padangbai, the reef transforms into an entirely different world. Night diving reveals creatures that only emerge after dark — bioluminescent plankton, sleeping parrotfish, hunting octopus, lobsters, and a host of nocturnal critters invisible during daylight hours. Our experienced dive guides lead small groups with torches provided, ensuring safety while maximising sightings. Dive briefings cover torch signals, buddy communication, and night-specific safety procedures. Available to certified Open Water divers and above. All torches and equipment supplied.

As a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort, Absolute Scuba Bali offers the full range of PADI certifications, taught by professional, patient instructors. Courses include: Try Scuba Diving — pool-based introduction for complete beginners PADI Scuba Diver — certified to 12m, 2 days PADI Open Water Diver — worldwide recognised first full certification PADI Advanced Open Water Diver — dive to 30m, navigation & specialties PADI Rescue Diver PADI Divemaster PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) — PADI's most popular specialty course Adventure Dives — night diving, wreck, drift, underwater photography & more Maximum 4 students per instructor. Group sizes are kept small to ensure individual attention and safety.

Coral Restoration

services

You are about to dive somewhere that matters

Padangbai’s coral reefs are alive — but they need help. Every year, warming oceans, plastic waste, and human activity take their toll on one of Bali’s most precious underwater ecosystems.

We Do OCEAN exists because doing nothing is not an option

Based in the fishing village of Padangbai, Karangasem, We Do OCEAN is a purpose-driven dive centre. Their team of passionate German and Indonesian instructors and guides — fluent in English, German, and Indonesian — believe that diving and doing good should go hand in hand.

Through their non-profit, they work alongside the local community and leading universities to restore coral reefs and fight plastic waste — both beneath the surface and on land.

This is not a donation

This is you, in the water, making a real difference — one reef star at a time.

Some dive trips leave you with great memories.
A We Do OCEAN dive leaves something behind — coral you planted, a reef you helped restore, a contribution that will outlast your holiday by decades.

Every Impact Dive helps Padangbai’s reefs flourish again.

Do OCEAN. For the OCEAN. For life beneath the waves.

Some dive destinations tick boxes. Padangbai rewrites the list.

Tucked on Bali’s east coast, Padangbai is one of the island’s most rewarding dive hubs.
Absolute Scuba Bali puts you right at the heart of it.

Seven local dive sites sit just minutes from the resort.
Tepekong, Mimpang, and Gili Biaha lie just offshore — known for strong currents, exceptional visibility, and unforgettable encounters.

Nusa Penida is only 20 minutes away.
Manta Point is a short hop beyond.

By road, Tulamben and Amed open up even more of Bali’s world-class diving.

The best of Bali’s diving is yours.

Marine life that delivers — every dive

The biodiversity here is extraordinary.

With our experienced divemasters guiding you, the ocean reveals its rarest residents — rhinopias, ghost pipefish, frogfish, pygmy seahorses, and flying gurnards.

Often, right at your fin tips.

Turtles cruise the shallows.
Whitetip reef sharks patrol the walls.
Blacktips — and even the occasional silky shark — appear when you least expect it.

From macro magic to big encounters

The Jetty offers world-class muck diving.

Blue Lagoon at night — just 10 minutes by boat — is something else entirely.

This is more than just diving

This is exceptional diving.

With our Dive & Impact Packages, it becomes something more.

The ocean gives you everything.
These packages give you the chance to return the favour.

In partnership with We Do OCEAN — Padangbai’s dedicated coral reef restoration dive centre.
