Scuba Certification: What It Is
In order for you to legally dive, you need to have a scuba certification. A scuba certification is a professional certification proving that you are qualified to scuba dive. A scuba certification is very much similar to a trade certification or professional designation that legally allows a person to perform a specific job or a task involved in his or her trade. If you have certification, it means that a certifying

body has determined that you have the skills or abilities to perform a job or task. Thus, a scuba certification means that you have the knowledge and skills required for scuba diving.
Professional bodies and corporations are responsible for issuing professional certifications, including scuba certification, to qualified individuals. While certification and licensure are terms that are used interchangeably, certification and licensure are different in that certification is generally voluntary while licensure is required by law. Certification is given to individuals who undergo training or pass a test. Thus, in order to get a scuba certification, you must either undergo scuba training or pass a scuba diving test.
While there are certifications that last throughout an individual's lifetime, there are certifications that have to be periodically renewed or are valid only for a specific period. Oftentimes, when certifications need to be renewed, individuals must show that they are undertaking continual learning, referred to as continuing education, although this is more often seen in licensures.
A certification body, usually a business organization or a professional body, grants certifications. Oftentimes, the certification body is directly related to the certification being offered. So in the case of scuba certification, the certification body that issues this type of certification may be a national or international scuba diving organization.

There are instances, too, where a non-profit organization may act as a certification body. Regardless of its nature, the certifying organization sets the policies and requirements for awarding certifications. If you are planning to apply for scuba certification, you need to have a clear understanding of the certifying body as well as its certification process.
If you are involved in recreational scuba diving, you may not be aware that there is no centralized certifying or regulatory agency overseeing this particular area of . However, you can get scuba certification from large diving organizations, such as the Professional Association of Diving Instructions (PADI), which is considered as the biggest recreational diving membership and diver training organization in the world. PADI's founder are John Cronin and Ralph Erikson. Diving organizations like PADI routinely train and certify divers and dive instructions.
