Nothing except my blender cert...just to save money on gas (the dive shop in Black River Falls gives discounts if you fill your own tanks). I'm done with diving certs. Now I'm set to dive the Kamloops at the end of August...in 260FFW. > I'm done with diving certs. Now I'm set to dive the Kamloops at the > end of August...in 260FFW.

Cool I got my AOW too. A small revision to the dives I thought we were going to do. We did a deep dive, navigation dive, DPV dive, peak performance bouyancy, and night dive.

Good to hear that too. FWIW, what did you think of the AOW? For example, did you think it was really worth an extra class, or should its contents have been part of OW, etc? -hh >> I got my AOW too. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > -hh Definitely the contents could have been part of the OW class, maybe as an add-on option or something. But, I really liked that I had my own gear to use on the dives. I didn't have to frig around adding weights or finding the right size wetsuit. Although, I wouldn't of had my gear if it was part of the OW course. BTW, I discovered that the dry-cuffs on my drysuit have been on wrong for three years and my hands SHOULD have been getting wet. All fixed now.

Why not just hang on to a buddy and let HIM drag you round the dive site, be just as valid! >>> I earned my Advanced Trimix today. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> > <bloody lazy instructor rant> > What is dpv on AOW supposed to teach you, certainly not buouyancy or > diving!

AOW is a great class for people who don't get to dive much, just as long as they actually -learn- the aspects of the dives they do. SignaturePopeye "Best thing for him, really.
