We just completed our AOW in Maui recently and felt it was worth the time. It was as everyone said, done through actual diving instead of theory. Peak Performance Buoyancy was an excellent module since we spent time fine tuning our weights and hovering techniques. In our case, UW naturalist was really good too as we learned about the marine life in Maui and gained new "eyes" to find the really cool stuff. Navigation was also good as it gave us confidence to trust ourselves a little more than we probably did. We had a really good instructor who knew how to balance fun and learning, so we definitely felt the time was well spent.
Next will be rescue, but we're going to wait a year or two until we're more experienced divers.
