Yes, interesting point. Especially since PADI changed the DM course to reflect less on theory (physics, etc.) and more on the practical. A La NAUI, where the theory is in MDS and I believe MSD is required (?) to start NAUI DM.
A lot of these courses seem like a waste of good money. Which ones are really useful and help you as a diver, which ones are money grabers, and which ones did you do and like?
Thanks in advance,

The AOW course was useless except for the supervised deep dive.
I feel the most important speciaties are
1) enriched Air
2) dry suit
then do your AOW and you can dive virtually everywhere.
