Some years ago, BS-AC has a similiar policy - to move from the "beginning level" to a somewhat more "advanced level," one had to complete a minimum of 20 open water dives in addition to the initial 10 open water qualifying dives necessary for the "beginning" certification. 30 total. The next level required a minimum of 100 o/w dives in additional to those required for the previous certification level. 130 total. We aren't even to instructor training yet. (what *is* an asst. instructor - divemaster or ???) I don't believe that the certifying agencies such as PADI/NAUI/etc have quite as high a level of expectation as do some others! harve Harve Thorn TThorn@co*.ua*.ed*
