Get as much as you can out of the navigation by playing with the compass a bit before the class. Navigate squares in the parking lot, etc. Pretty useful stuff and you might not see it again for awhile (instruction-wise)
Congratulations!
Congratulations!

My idea of navigation training is using my Xios Tracker.....
My even better idea of underwater navigation is diving in some secluded, exotic tropical dive destination where the water visibility is so great you navigate by looking then heading for what you see.

For my AUW, I'll be doing:
* Nav
* Deep (100-95' dive)
* Night
* Wreck
* Multi Level
They also give you a taste of the "Peak Performance" class.
Finally, since I'm taking my Nitrox class two nights before - I'll be able to dive some/all of the AOW with Nitrox!!!
(You might be able to tell: I'M PUMPED!!!)

Enjoy! I'll be completing my AOW this weekend (navigation and wreck dives) and I finished up Nitrox a couple of weeks ago. Good luck!
I just did TDI Nitrox and will do PADI AOW next weekend. I thought the TDI text was better than anything I've seen from PADI, although the layout isn't as flashy, no color photos or slender models.

Enjoy your classes...I'm looking forward to taking AOW just this silly work thing gets in the way.

Steve,
May I interject just one little thing about nitrox?
For the most part, unless you have your own tanks of greater capacity than an aluminum 80, you probably won't extend your bottom time, but you will shorten your surface intervals for subsequent dives.

100 feet is pretty shady for a deep dive. My instructor took me down to 90 feet and none of us felt a thing. I can't help but feel like all I got was a card for aow. I would have made more sense if they combined peak preformance bouyancy, trim, or something else practical in the class. Lots of bookwork for not many results.
