Thanks all, gotten some very valuable information regarding my question.
Seems like there is a general consensus that certain courses such as EANx and Night might not be as worth it when taken as specialties.
Will inquire with my LDSs to as to their syllabuses and also to see whether other more interesting specialties such as Multilevel Diving, DPV etc are available.
Hopefully they will be able to give me a package discount and also a viable schedule
Will also take the advantages of the AOW course into consideration as well when considering which route to pursue.
Lastly, wanna ask whether the AOW certification would be automatic once I acquire the 5 specialties, or if I have to pay an additional processing fee to PADI to get the certification?
