I know it's odd. But when I was getting scuba certified, it was explained very early on that you never get to just strap on a tank and jump into the ocean. You have to know how deep you're going, and the deeper you go, the less amount of time you stay down there - and it takes longer to get to the surface.

Use 'certify' when an official or authoritative statement is made, not just personal opinions.

Authority Needed

'Certify' is formal and typically used in official documents, certificates, and legal contexts.

Formal Situations

'Certify' doesn't imply something is positive, just that it's confirmed to be true.

Not Always Positive

Use 'certify' when someone meets the specific standards required for a professional role.

Professional Context

'Certify' suggests successful completion of tests or criteria by an independent body, not self-assessment.

Impartial Process

'Certify' in manufacturing often relates to safety, quality, or adherence to standards.

Safety and Quality

Products are certified to assure consumers about their authenticity and compliance.

Consumer Confidence

Only medical professionals can certify mental health conditions, based on specific evaluations.
