...It will be great if they have a reel on the bottom to allow me to measure 100'...
Don't worry, they are supposed to have a line or some other means of marking out the 100' for you.

AOW is basically dive 1 from 5 specialties. But required are nav and deep. Here they normally do peak per buoyancy, nav, deep, wreck, and an open one according to the instructor (naturalist or recovery). All good skills. If you ow cert then you should do fine.
Have fun with it and remember you kick cycles then go out and do it after as well jot get a good feel for them and a non training real world distance/time/ kick check. If your thinking about it it its a great tool to have in your bag so to speak.

I think we did Deep, Navigation, Night, Boat (well they said it was boat because we used a boat for the deep dive) and something else. I was at 100 or so dives at the time and it was pretty anticlimactic. 3 points I'd like to offer.Hello! I am a new certified diver and am currently taking the PADI AOW course online. I plan on completing the dive portion in December and was wondering which adventure specialties did you decide to choose? Peak Buoyancy, Fish Id, etc.
I also had a question about the UNDERWATER NAVIGATION section. How specific are they going to be on the dive? I have a compass but since I am a newbie, I doubt I will be able to navigate a perfect square. Maybe a small square! Do you remember if they required a stop watch to do the navigation or was it just fin strokes? It may be a silly question and I know the course states to expect to navigate a straight line using natural navigation as well as a compass, but I was wondering what everyone's experience was of the adventure dive.
I do not know why but I am a little nervous about this section. I do not want to be concerned I will not be able to make a square and waste a dive doing that! thanks for your help!!
