About
Their accomplishments are epic. Their expertise is unrivaled. No other force is more intensely trained to succeed in the perilous world of underwater adventure. Each assignment they take on is crucial and backed by a steadfast dedication to teamwork. Navy Divers are part of an extraordinary community, journeying from the darkest depths of the world’s oceans to freezing arctic‑like conditions under icebergs, accomplishing tasks with no margin for error.

Perform a variety of diving salvage operations and special diving duties worldwide
Take part in construction and demolition projects
Execute search and rescue missions
Support military and civilian law‑enforcement agencies
Serve as technical experts for diving operations for numerous military Special Operations units

Deep submergence – probing the greatest depths in the name of research and other classified missions
Ship husbandry – inspecting and repairing ships and submarines
Saturation diving – working and living at extreme depths for days or weeks at a time
WORK ENVIRONMENT Fittingly, the Navy Diver motto is “We Dive the World Over.” Members of this Special Operations force travel the world, working everywhere imaginable, in just about every possible undersea environment – from cold, muddy water where tasks can only be completed by feel, to warm, tropical waters clear enough for underwater photography.
TRAINING & ADVANCEMENT Training to become a Navy Diver challenges your willpower, intelligence, and physical strength and sets you among the world’s elite underwater adventurers. Training includes:
Diver Preparation Course (7 weeks) at Naval Training Command, Great Lakes, IL – basic electrical and engineering courses, water adaptability, and physical fitness

Fleet Training – assignment to one of the Navy Diving Units to be trained in underwater ship repair, salvage and construction, using SCUBA or a surface‑supplied‑air diving system. Training for Diving Medical Officers and Diving Medical Technicians is also part of Fleet training.

Officer roles – for those with further leadership aspirations and a college degree, providing opportunities to lead and train others.
