I am glad I could help out. Your wife should have had 4 checkout dives (plus an optional snorkel) for an Open Water cert, so that sounds a bit odd. Maybe they trained her for a discovery type course and then gave her the full cert? I am glad to hear you are getting the advanced cert, it should keep people from giving you trouble. It sounds like you already have a lot of dives under your belt though, so a your dive log would prove you are experienced. It's a useful cert to get some experience for beginners and some dive operators require it for the more advanced dives. The course could probably have a better name though, as the only way to get "advanced" is to dive a lot "the right way". Anyways, have fun in Tahiti! I am going to the British Virgin Islands next Thursday..you get to see more acros than me
