spearfisherman55:What do you learn in the AOW course?
spearfisherman55:I am PADI OW cert, so I would like to continue with the same dive shop and take PADI AOW course.
Here is the PADI site's description of the AOW course.spearfisherman55:I am PADI OW cert, so I would like to continue with the same dive shop and take PADI AOW course.
It's a requirement for the PADI rescue diver class, or so they say so.kayleeb:I have been struggling with the pros and cons of an AOW certification.
I have been fortunate enough to have been diving for several years, have logged more than a few open water dives, have been deepish (150'), have been drift diving in Cozumel, night diving, am Nitrox certified, and feel very comfortable using my skills underwater.
What, besides having another plastic card that keeps the air conditioning on when I'm not in my hotel room, are the advantages to AOW certification?
