The AOW diver certification allows you to dive deeper and in more challenging conditions. The class involves 6 dives total, half of which are conducted in Florida's freshwater springs, and the last half are completed in south Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. We use charter boats in Jupiter and West Palm, FL, to take us to the warm, clear waters of the Gulf Stream, not but a few miles off shore. These currents make for excellent drift diving, and attract all kinds of incredible creatures.
