I don't think NAUI requires the AOW for the rescue class.
I haven't taken the rescue course, but I heard it is worth
taking. My AOW class was mostly just dives with a short
lecture/pre-dive briefing. I don't think that I learned much
more than I would of if I had spent the time diving.
Of the AOW dives, I would say the navigation dive was most helpful.
My deep dive was to 112 feet at the underwater park at Avalon, and would
not have been noteworthy except for seeing an electric ray.
Did you say you were working at Scuba-toys? Maybe one of the instructors
will let you sit in and dive with the AOW class and skip the
deep dive. You wouldn't get the C-Card, but it may help you
up the learning curve.
