Uh, sorry, but there's no such qualification!

There are may "qualifications", from the amateur PADI (of which I have a couple of grades), to BSAC 1st class (probably the most stringent and disciplined of qualifications, despite technically being an amateur club); but "SCUBA qualified" is not one of them.

I have no idea of any of the qualifications. I simply copied the quote from the NASA source in my comment. Why don't you bring it up with NASA?

So you blindly quote something that you have no clue about, then snark when you get called out on it?
