Advanced OW Level Names
Beginning September 1, 2012 the changed names of the advanced courses will go into effect. This will better align with the CMAS "star" levels.

Wall certificates and certification cards will show these new designations.

The new levels are:

Advanced Diver Level 1
(formerly OW+)

Advanced Diver Level 2
(formerly AD OW)

Advanced Diver Level 3
(formerly AD OW+)

Master Diver Level 4
(formerly Master Diver)
 
I doubt they will. I have a level 4 Master Diver student now. Hedoesn't really care about the designation. What he cares about is getting the instructor level knowledge and skills without the teaching component. I don't see other agencies developing or offering an actual master diver course like we have and that NAUI offers as well.
