Hello all,
Been diving since about 2009 but have gotten more serious the last couple of years logging about 30+ dives a year for 2013/14 and closing in on the 100 dive total. All my diving is done on vacations and at this point don't see that changing anytime soon or at all. So far I've been primarily in Cozumel, Cabo, and Hawaii. In Coz I think I've hit the bulk of the reefs and wrecks in the area diving anywhere between 30 and 120 feet. My buoyancy, trim, and consumption are solid.
So with all that said, is there a reason I'd want to spend hundreds of dollars on an AOW course when I can already dive pretty much everything I've wanted to while on vacation. Other than the nitrox and navigation course I took, I'm not planning on other advanced courses....cept maybe photography. I don't see the value in the AOW. Am I missing something?
