If you are an OWD certified diver, or a novice diver who has just obtained the OWD qualification, you may be confused about how to dive deeper into your dive learning next, no matter what your diving system is. Before you go to this page you can read this article about SSI Advanced Diving Education.
Divers often ask me about advanced diving programs, but what exactly is an advanced diving program?
There are a few commonly mentioned diving courses, such as the PADI system's AOW course and Specialty course, and the SSI system's AA course, Specialty course, and AOWD award certification system.
What is the difference between AA and AOW? The PADI AOW course is the equivalent of the SSI AA course certification level, and both are almost identical in that they include five “experiential specialty dives” before you are certified. After completing the AA course, you will be able to dive according to your specialty and explore a maximum depth limit of 30 meters.
Students can sign the relevant documents online before the course.
