I have logged 81 dives to date. I have done all of the specialty dives required for AOW certification. I have had the opportunity to take the AOW certification classes on many vacations but have not done it. I can't see spending the extra money to have someone say I have done the required dives, charge me money and give me a different C-card. What do you get from the AOW besides a different card? I am very confident in my buoyancy control, etc. Is there additional training? Is it worth it? Tell me.
