I'm not sure what you really mean here...
There is diving but not certified , like doing the resort thing for kicks, or just diving on the sly.
There is getting certified and actually diving with some regularity. (I mean diving often, not a bowel comentary)
Then there are the many that get certified but never carry on with the sport. Yes I said sport, not activity or pastime though you can call whatever you do whatever you want.

almitywife:i think we need to debate (or poll) the term "dives" against "certified"
i would be more inclined to say that Steve Martin (or any other stuart cove inductee) is certified rather than they dive
