Don't forget about the wall certificate "suitable for framing" and if you're lucky, the MSD backpack! Seriously, it would seem the NAUI MSD would educate you far more. I'm doing PADI DM now and there is a ton of physics, dive/decompression theory. Like any college type course, there seems to be a fairly large percentage of the knowledge that is nice to know but probably will never be used. There are a lot of components to DM, but the meat & potatoes is learning how to demonstrate skills to be able to assist instructors. If you're not into that, you can probably get the same dive knowledge with NAUI MSD or the DM academic part by just buying the books.
