Certification created — status: pending

A unique cert ID and QR code are generated and held for admin review.

Admin reviews & approves

Admin verifies the details and approves the certificate in the admin portal.

Email sent to diver & instructor

Both the diver and the listed instructor receive a confirmation email with a verification link.

Certification active + QR verification

The certificate is active. Anyone can scan the QR or visit the verify page to confirm it in real time.
