I had my concerns about booking with Padang Bai Beach Resort which is associated with Absolute Scuba last year and so made enquiries with OK divers. Both were recommended by a friend who has herself worked as a Dive Centre manager in Padang Bai for 5 years and so is familiar with most dive centres there. But I found Radka's terms a bit too restrictive (and her attitude was rather patronising, which rubbed me the wrong way) and so did not continue the negotiations. I switched back to Padang Bai Beach Resort and this time the new manager Olivier was extremely helpful and I was able to organise a very satisfactory dive/accommodation package with him. Granted that I have not been dealing with Absolute Scuba directly but Olivier has promised to see that everything goes properly. He seems to be a very pro-active person in ensuring guest satisfaction and listens to all the requests made by potential clients.I think you should give a reason for avoiding absolute Scuba; I have just finished 2 tour groups with them and have no complaints, they scored an 8.75 from the group survey which I think speaks for them.
