Recommendation for AOW...

[cyclone]

I know some of you have undergone AOW. I just wanted to ask what have you taken for your Adventure Dives and majority of Adventure Dives most people take.

[DivingsInMyBlood]

so far i have drift, boat and dry suit. I need to do deep and nav. and i plan on doing night and wreck too.

[Silverlode]

Deep, Nav, Night, Fish ID, Peak Performance Buoyancy.

I plan to do the specialities for Wreck, Deep and Nitrox eventually plus Rescue Divers.

[RoadRacer1978]

Did Deep, Night, Nav, S&R, and PPB for AOW cert.

[BuzzF117]

Peak Performance Bouyancy, Search and Recovery, Deep, Navigation, and Wreck. Wreck was in almost zero vis and instructor asked what we saw afterward and I laughed and said I had a REAL close look at some Zebra mussels...but was still pretty cool dive.

If you have a good instructor, I'd really recommend Peak Performance Buoyancy. Great module to take and definitely skills you can use right away. We did that module first and were able to tweak and practice throughout the rest of the course.

I did altitude (helpful for those of us who live at 3600ft.) deep dive, navigation, wrech, and search and rescue.

I'm trying to figure this out myself. I think it's going to be:

Deep
Wreck
Night
Navigation
Drift

Just based on the dives the shop typically does on the trip to the Keys. I've got the classroom portion coming up next week for AOW and Nitrox.

Good luck!

peak performance buoyancy is something you can work on without any help - use your classes for something more beneficial... IMO at least...

I did buoyancy, deep, night, wreck, and navigation. I tried to pick dives that would be the most useful skills I'd need in the future. My husband did search and rescue and got to practice knots and deploying a liftbag which are both things I'd have liked to work on too. I may do the search and recovery specialty sometime to get that practice in.
