My wife and I just received our OWC yesterday. We both love diving and want to see more, improve our skills and generally have fun. Our instructors suggested trying to get our AOW either during or before our trip. I see pros and cons to both situations.
Pros to getting it before we leave are can just dive and a little more flexibility while we are there instead of spending 2-3 days getting certified.
Cons are learn in a warmer environment in Hawaii, the AOW courses on the island don't seem to include peak performance buoyancy which I have read is one of the most important.
I would welcome your thoughts and what dive shops to use either for training or just diving depending on the above.
Thanks
