Sukelasumsertifioinnit, often referred to as SCUBA certifications, are credentials issued by recognized organizations that attest to an individual's training and competence in underwater diving. These certifications indicate that a diver has successfully completed a course of instruction covering essential diving theory, skills, and safety procedures. The most common entry-level certification is the Open Water Diver, which allows individuals to dive under the supervision of a dive professional or with a certified buddy to a specified depth.

Various organizations worldwide offer SCUBA certifications, including PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), SSI (Scuba Schools International), and NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors). Each organization has its own training standards and materials, but the core principles of safe diving are generally consistent. Beyond the initial certification, divers can pursue advanced training to gain specialized skills, such as deep diving, wreck exploration, or underwater photography. These certifications are crucial for accessing dive sites, renting equipment, and ensuring the safety of oneself and others while diving. They represent a commitment to responsible diving practices and the ongoing development of underwater skills.
