Isn't this the way most responding to this thread would hope they feel so they don't go out thinking they're better than what they are? Because really, they should feel this way but hopefully also feel like they had some fun, having enjoyed it enough to follow it up with more diving and/or training.And clearly, the OP falls into this category. They took a "advanced" class and have the obvious feeling that when they finish, they won't be much more advanced than when they started.
Everyone is going to differ on this but I still find it hard to believe that people go into the AOW course with the thought that they become advanced - as in they magically became an expert in diving (although apparently, some do) .
