iluvtheocean, I agree. A little off topic, but sometimes the "AOW doesn't at all mean you're Advanced" topic is beaten to death. Of course you're not advanced with a possible minimum of 9 dives with an Instructor for AOW cert.! Have to admit, at one point I thought for a split second "Hmmmm..does this really mean I'll be Advanced"? After 15 total dives and completing my AOW I STILL didn't think I was Advanced....... But yeah, a name change for AOW may be in order.....
