WE DIVE THE WORLD OVER. Navy Divers go where few can-into the depths of the sea to execute critical underwater operations that keep the Navy moving and missions on track. From salvaging sunken wreckage and repairing ships to retrieving astronauts from space capsules, they are the underwater problem-solvers of the Navy. Equipped with state-of-the-art diving systems, they master everything from underwater welding to deep-sea salvage and submarine rescue. Whether securing harbors, clearing waterways, or operating alongside Special Operations teams, their skills are essential to keeping the fleet mission-ready anywhere in the world. It's a challenge few can meet-and even fewer can qualify for. If the sea is calling, this is how you answer. Enlisted Officer WATCH VIDEOS ABOUT NAVY DIVERS Navy Diver NAVY DIVER: CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS Responsibilities Navy Divers operate anywhere from the shallow waters of coral reefs and harbors around the world to the freezing depths beneath icebergs, accomplishing specialized tasks below the surface, with no margin for error.

Members of this Special Operations force travel the world, working in just about every possible undersea environment-from cold, muddy water where underwater tasks must be completed without the use of sight, 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 puts your desire to the test. Complete the training, and you'll rank among the world's elite underwater adventurers.

Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance. Post-Service Opportunities It's also important to note that specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields. Education Opportunities Members of the Naval Special Warfare community have many opportunities to advance their education.

WE DIVE THE WORLD OVER. Navy Divers go where few can-into the depths of the sea to execute critical underwater operations that keep the Navy moving and missions on track. From salvaging sunken wreckage and repairing ships to retrieving astronauts from space capsules, they are the underwater problem-solvers of the Navy. Equipped with state-of-the-art diving systems, they master everything from underwater welding to deep-sea salvage and submarine rescue. Whether securing harbors, clearing waterways, or operating alongside Special Operations teams, their skills are essential to keeping the fleet mission-ready anywhere in the world. It's a challenge few can meet-and even fewer can qualify for. If the sea is calling, this is how you answer. Enlisted Officer WATCH VIDEOS ABOUT NAVY DIVERS Navy Diver NAVY DIVER: CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS Responsibilities Navy Divers operate anywhere from the shallow waters of coral reefs and harbors around the world to the freezing depths beneath icebergs, accomplishing specialized tasks below the surface, with no margin for error. Your job as a Diver could encompass many specialties, including: Performing wreckage salvage operations and underwater repairs Conducting harbor and waterway clearance operations Assisting in construction and demolition projects Executing search and rescue missions Performing deep submergence operations and saturation diving, which could involve living and working at extreme depths for days or weeks at a time Supporting military and civilian law enforcement agencies Serving as technical experts for diving evolutions for numerous military Special Operations units Providing security, communications and other logistics during Expeditionary Warfare missions Carrying out ship and submarine maintenance, including inspection and repair Work Environment Fittingly, the Navy Diver motto is "We Dive the World Over." Members of this Special Operations force travel the world, working in just about every possible undersea environment-from cold, muddy water where underwater tasks must be completed without the use of sight, 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 puts your desire to the test. Complete the training, and you'll rank among the world's elite underwater adventurers. Upon completion of initial training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as Boot Camp), you'll report for specialized training, including: Diver Preparation Course (7 weeks) at Naval Training Command, Great Lakes, IL, for training in basic electrical and engineering courses, water adaptability and physical fitness. Second Class Dive School (15 weeks) at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) in Panama City, FL, for training in: Air and mixed gas diving Underwater cutting and welding Demolition Recompression chamber operations Underwater hydraulic tools Ship maintenance, repair and salvage Fleet Training - You will be assigned to one of the Navy Diving Units to be trained to perform underwater ship repair, salvage and construction, using either SCUBA equipment or a surface-supplied-air diving system. Training for Diving Medical Officers and Diving Medical Technicians is also part of Fleet training. Upon successful completion of training, graduates are assigned to salvage or repair ships, Mobile Diving and Salvage Units, aviation water survival training, or to EOD/SEAL support. Advanced Training - Many experienced divers return to NDSTC for further course work so they can qualify as First Class Divers and Master Divers . For those with further leadership aspirations and a college degree, Officer roles are available, providing opportunities to lead and train others. Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance. Post-Service Opportunities It's also important to note that specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields. Education Opportunities Members of the Naval Special Warfare community have many opportunities to advance their education. Navy training provides skills and knowledge in everything from military tactics, deep-sea diving and several other tactical military procedures. Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy training in this field can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education. You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

WE DIVE THE WORLD OVER. Navy Divers go where few can-into the depths of the sea to execute critical underwater operations that keep the Navy moving and missions on track. From salvaging sunken wreckage and repairing ships to retrieving astronauts from space capsules, they are the underwater problem-solvers of the Navy. Equipped with state-of-the-art diving systems, they master everything from underwater welding to deep-sea salvage and submarine rescue. Whether securing harbors, clearing waterways, or operating alongside Special Operations teams, their skills are essential to keeping the fleet mission-ready anywhere in the world. It's a challenge few can meet-and even fewer can qualify for. If the sea is calling, this is how you answer.
