    PADI AOW Questions

    Hi divers, even though this thread is a couple of weeks old, I hope it's still useful to reply in order to correct some of the inaccuracies I've read. 1) Enriched Air is an elective dive for PADI AOWD. However, your instructor needs to be Enriched Air Specialty instructor to include it in your...

    (Question for Instructors)Time in confined water OWD course

    That's interesting, it also happened to me that a fresh Instructor genuinely thought "flexible skills=not mandatory skills" ... luckily I could correct him at his first OWD course already.

    (Question for Instructors)Time in confined water OWD course

    Hi Guille, it's not you being slow, don't worry. For a small class ( 1-2 students ) I plan by default 5 sessions of 1.5 hours. Good students can finish in 4, a few of them need some additional time. Having students master all skills, skin diving skills, 10m float, 300m snorkel swim and...

    Padi pics

    Hmmm, that's strange. Here in Europe at least, I'm able to buy PICs online with the corresponding training material as freelance instructor. I haven't tried to buy PICs only, but I expect no problem, they show up in the PADI shop ( at higher price ) But it could be that PADI US makes things more...

    Discover scuba suggestions! Cozumel

    Hi, sorry, I have a slightly different opinion. If you have decided already to go for the OWD course, and you have no troubles in the water, that's true, the DSD does not teach you much. However, many people have no idea whether they would like to breath underwater and they would be...

    PADI MSD

    Hi Malcom White, no need to log them on the PADI site. Just show your logbook ( in whatever format ) to the certifying instructor. Congrats with your MSD achievement !
