| Imported post I did my AOW in Turkey not long after completing the OW course. One of the key benefits was the costs of doing this cf the cost of a five dive package - basically the difference was peanuts. I also had the advantage of buddying with a very pleasant Dutch girl and we had an Instructor between us. So all-in-all pretty damn good value and you still get to see all the things you'd normally see on the dives. And we had a check-out dive thrown in as extra - so essentially 6 dives.
Was it of much use? Well not really but I enjoyed it all the same.
Cost of the course (6 dives) £100
The dive skills aren't difficult esp if you're doing the SD OW dives.
So, what the hell, go 4 it.
As for the name, I thought PADI had changed this to Adventure diver or something?
