Requirements: In order to receive a Specialty Diver rating or Junior Specialty Diver rating students are to successfully complete any 2 Specialty programs and log a total of at least 12 open water dives for certification. Only 1 Unique Specialty program may be applied towards the Specialty Diver rating.
I would say that is equivalent to an Openwater diver who has completed 2 specialties. They would be eligible to enroll in an AOW class just like any other OW diver but because the specialties weren't PADI specialties they can not be applied as two of the adventure dives.
OP
Thank you, sir.
