MoonWrasse:Many people do their AOW at the Similans.
In PADI AOW, you'll spend a brief portion normally during the dive doing a skill
specific to the AOW unit.
Then the remainder of the dive will be a fun dive.
Lol, that's how you can tell the REAL instructors from the regular divers - they wear full suits when it's 95F outorangelemon:I done four AOW courses in the Similans this week, during one of the dives we had the company of a Manta for a short time, that doesnt happen many times during a local AOW course so would def recommend an AOW course in the Similans. Additionally if anyone is heading that way I should take some exposure protection (minimum 3mm shorty) those thermoclines are a getting a bit chilly now.
