Typically, college credit for Scuba courses is not common unless the courses are part of a recognized program in a related field, such as marine Biology or physical education. Some colleges may offer elective credits for scuba certifications through partnerships with diving organizations. However, it's essential to check with the specific college or university regarding their policies on accepting such credits. Ultimately, while it is possible in some cases, it is not a standard way to complete a college degree.
