ok - I know the first thing everyone is going to say is ask your local dive center - we loved the center where we took our OW classes but have recently been given a bit of a "cold shoulder" from them - we've asked this question but still waiting on an answer so...
We have our OW certification - thinking of getting AOW - it's pretty easy to find the dives required for AOW but we have a couple questions:
if we do some of the "adventure dives" just because they become available (for example - dive center mentioned above is hosting a night dive soon) can we then apply those toward AOW or do we have to first sign up for AOW and then do those dives? Or is this something that will depend on the dive shop?
Also, in the AOW - do you just do the book work and the dives - or do you have to do skills like in OW (mask flooding, reg removal etc.) just curious because I like to know things before I get in the middle of them.
