No, it is AOW OR proof of 40 logged deep dives. As you know that every open water diver can and is allowed to dive deeper than 18 or 20m, this means that the open water diver must have done at least 40 dives to 18.1m and have written this in their liebooks. Or you must have an aow cert. And with a lot of agencies aow is just 5 dives after open water. SSI is the only agency that want to sell 5 specialties.
At the end everything is about money. I think now that the combination ow+aow in 9 dives is sold more than before instead of aow and do 3 dives extra diving in the first week of their dive career. Now they can take a camera on the last day.
