I am getting my aow this weekend

Hello I wanted to share that I am going to be doing my aow this weekend I am so excited. Found a great instructor with ssi. We will be doing our dives at the Blue Grotto dive park. Got a good price on the class and the dives are only 40 to get into the park. Yippy

Good Luck with the class! I just finished my AOW course and loved every second of it! What dives are you going to do?

Good on you. AOW is not really stressful. It's a bunch of fun dives.
Question: is that $40 per day for entry, or for the weekend?

Good luck and enjoy. I had a great time when I got my AOW. Learned a litle bit more and refreshed knowledge from OW.

Good Luck, Have Fun

Vercingetorix is right, most aow courses are expanding your horizons as a diver. Not nearly as much technical and physics as ow. Just go have fun and at some moment it will hit you... "this isn't hard, I'm having fun... underwater"!

Good luck!

Hi, I just finished mine up last weekend, all of my dives were 100-120 feet way the heck out in the ocean! It was great, I polished up my OW skills, and I learned some new things.

I did Nav, Deep, Wreck, Buoyancy, and Multi-level

I wanted to do Night, but we were 2 hours off shore during the day, so that wasn't going to work.

Good luck and have fun.

We are doing the night, navigation, and deep as the mandatory classes. I am not sure what other specialties we will be doing.

The 40 a day is for the entry fee for the day and we will be doing all our dives on that day. Night/low viz, deep, and navigation.

You're doing 6 dives in one day?

My NAUI AOW had 6 dives over two days:
Day 1 - 1) nav, 2) search & recovery, 3) wreck (non-pen), 4)night
Day 2 - 5) deep, 6)scooter

I hope they do your Deep dive first, then.
