What dives did you choose for your PADI AOW?

[E.C.Hansen]

So in a little over a week I'm doing my AOW while on Vacation, besides the required Deep and Nav, I have two of the three specialty dives chosen (P.P. Buoyancy, and Search and Recovery). So I'm wondering, what did other people choose for their 3 other dives?

Thanks,
Eric

I did Night, Wreck and Photography.

Where are you going on vacation? I did my AOW in Playa just after doing my OW and did Wreck (Mama Vina), Drift and photography.

Were I to do it again I'd do buoyancy rather than Photo and just pick up the photo tips from the board or by asking people.

Depending on where you're going one dive might be more appropriate than another. Wreck was really fun and drift was totally appropriate for Playa since pretty much all the ocean dives there are drifts anyway!

Good luck and HAVE FUN!

IMO,PPB and S&R are good choices.Take the night aswell,it's fun but when your not completely sure about the nightdives it just good to do one withe an instructor.

HAVE FUN

It's been a while...

I believe we did night, deep, altitude, nav and search and recovery

Deep and Navigation are required; my optional dive choices were wreck, night and peak performance buoyancy.

I was thinking about night for the last one, and Byte Me, I'll be in Tulum, bout an hour south of Playa Del Carmen.

If I did it again, I would choose from wreck, PPB (the most useful I did), drift, and search/recovery. Obviously if there are no wrecks in the area, that makes the decision easier. Don't let the dive shop talk you into something you aren't into. Mine tried fish ID. I figured I could learn fish online and from diving for fun, not necessarily from taking a class. Take what interests you or what can help you the most.
