The center offers state of the art facilities including classroom, 2 swimming pools and a dedicated Instructor training boat. Training sites are situated very close to Trawangan Dive and boats leave directly from the beach outside the dive center, thus minimizing journey time and maximizing time spent in the classroom, the pool and on the training site. The dive center is also one of the busiest PADI centers in Indonesia and therefore it’s a great place to team teach once the course is over.
