That is almost forgotten. The Advanced Plus Diver. I beleive it's on it's way out the door though... In my opinion it should be the other way around. The course is more extensive than the AOW course, just like the name suggests.
The AOW course is 5 dives on 2 days that is about 15 total hours of training.
The AOW Plus course is 9 dives on 4 days that is about 35 hours of training. In addition to 4 other types of diving exposure with a trained professional, it also includes a CPR requirement and a Diving theory requirement.
Perhaps the standards of the regular AOW course should be replaced with those of the Plus course...
