Divemaster in 10 days??

I saw some offers from dive centers, not only in Thailand ..

The dive schools that offer the PADI Divemaster course in 10 days, cheat not just the people who want to make this course, the diving schools act grossly negligent and dangerous!
It is absurd and irresponsible to claim that one can develop in such a short time to divemaster.
To be Divemaster include the highest degree of responsibility, LEADERSHIP, theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding.
Sure, we can acquire the theoretical knowledge in the self-study, however, support courses, assist the instructor and lead parts of a course under the supervision of an instructor, is something entirely different.
This experience, which distinguishes a divemaster, or should mark up, we do not learn in a few days!
No one makes the drivers license and can drive after 10 days of a bus full of people.
What makes a divemaster is much more, as only the theory. It is also about the work in a diving school, such as fill tanks, dive preparation and planning of a day's scuba diving, equipment care and maintenance. Just as customer service and knowledge about diving and snorkeling equipment.
How can that be learned in just 10 days?
Who would certainly want to get lead from such a divemaster?
Which diving school will be responsible, if such a Divemaster makes a rough or even fatal error?
Conclusion:
Diving centers that make such offers are not only unserious, but from irresponsible in the highest degree and only focus on the easy money.
Any responsible diver should avoid such diving schools
Solely because of their own safety.
