Hi Hay!!!

I just received my Advanced Open Water certification. I too am surfing and have found a couple of cool sites that seem to be chocked full of info. Hoping to find some exotic trips when I feel more comfortable and gain some experience in the sea which I have yet to do but excited about it. Surf on.....

I want to get my Advanced Open Water certification. Is it hard? I can't wait for the spring it will be good to get in the water again.

Hi Fred, Welcome! I'm only a few hours away in S.W. KY. If you're ever down diving this way, feel free to look me up. Hope you enjoy your new sport!

AOW usually isn't too bad. What it takes depends on which agency you're training with. In PADI you must do 5 "Adventure Dives" (kind of like a sampler of different specialties offered). With SSI it takes 4 specialties & 24 logged dives. I honestly can't say I know beyond this what it takes for any other agencies.
