Just my two cents -
My buddy and I completed OW & AOW back-to-back over the span of two months. This gave us more than enough time to go through the course material, complete knowledge reviews at our leisure, and space out adventure dives over a few weekends as well.
The real reason we jumped right into AOW was because we wanted to dive ... at first we had NO CLUE how to find other divers in our region, and we liked our instructor's professionalism and general attitude. The additional learning we just took as a bonus to the fun that we were having!
