Ive decided to try and do a padi AOW course while on holiday this year. I have a few foreign trips planned and although im merrily following the BSAC route for UK diving to reach sports diver in the club could realistically take over a year to complete.
For that reason and a few others im looking at doing the PADI as well so im not as restricted to depth while on holidays.
Im a bit confused as to what EXACTLY is involved in the course.
Information ive found said 5 dives and 15 hours or so of work - is this classroom theory work that has to be done before the dives ?
The official web site isnt exactly overflowing with specifics.
I understand the 2 core dives and 3 selected dives to make up the 5 but again their web site doesnt provide details of whats required, example the navigation dive doesnt go into detail on what you're expected to do, the deep dive doesnt really specify a depth/purpose etc.
Just wondering if someone can fill me in on the specifics of what exactly is involved in the couse ?
Also, with only about 20 dives (all uk) is it a bit early to be considering the AOW ?
