With the AOW you have to make 5 adventure dives. That means that out of a list of over 20 possibilities you pick (with the aid of an instructor) 5 of them to do. Each adventure consists of some reading, a quiz and a dive focused on that particular specialty. It’s basically set up to introduce divers into other types of diving that could lead into specialization of that field. These are the 5 that I along with my instructor picked to do: Wreck, Night, Underwater Navigation, Deep, and Drift.
Although I have done these dives before on my own, it will be good to learn some new skills to perform on these dives to make the dive more interesting, easier, and fun!
