A while back, someone asked about useful certifications (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31874802), but I thought the most interesting part of the discussion was what certifications people had unrelated to software.
From language skills to trade skills to first aid to skills related to obscure hobbies, are there non-tech certifications that you had fun acquiring?

I'm sure it's expired, but I got a Forklift certification when I was in the Marines. Which is really bizarre since I was a glorified Forward Observer. But... you know... hang out at Camp Lejeune long enough and they'll teach you how to drive a forklift.
Looking at your comment... I really should get re-certified for CPR and or WSSI.

I am a certified PADI scuba instructor. Probably one of the funnest things I have ever done.
