In this study, after otologic and audiological examinations were performed on two groups as control (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200924) and SCUBA (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200921), cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (c\u2010VEMP) were evaluated for peripheral vestibular system functions. The SCUBA group comprised individuals who had completed a minimum of 75 dives and held a World Confederation of Underwater Activities 2 certificate. Statistical analysis was performed on immittance metric measurements, pure\u2010tone hearing thresholds (0.5\u201318\u2009kHz), and P1\u2010N1 latencies and amplitudes from c\u2010VEMP tests.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The SCUBA group demonstrated statistically significant differences in pure\u2010tone low and high frequency thresholds within the normal hearing range compared to the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001). The c\u2010VEMP responses showed statistically significant prolongation of P1\u2010N1 latencies in right ears and N1 latencies in left ears in the SCUBA group
