What makes an EXPERIENCED Diver? 🤿 https://youtu.be/zm3OrXbAYM4 --- Advanced Open Water certification is something every scuba diver should achieve, but there is a lot of controversy over the idea of "Advanced Divers" being named as such with no prerequisites outside of holding an open water certification card. I personally believe Advanced Open Water, or AOW, is to advanced your skills and doesn't necessarily mean you are an advanced diver. In this video, I cover what getting your AOW looks like, and my tips and recommendations on which specialties to pursue for your advanced open water training. Whether you're certified with PADI, SSI, SDI, NAUI, or one of the other scuba agencies, this video will cover why you NEED Advanced Open Water (AOW) as a scuba diver. This video is NOT sponsored.
