Navy Diver - Elite Underwater Specialists
A United States Navy diver refers to a volunteer that may be a restricted fleet line (Engineering Duty) officer, civil engineer corps (CEC) officer, Medical Corps officer, or an enlisted (ND rating) who is qualified in underwater diving and salvage. Navy divers serve with fleet diving detachments and in research and development. Some of the mission areas of the Navy diver include: marine salvage, harbor clearance, underwater ship husbandry and repair, submarine rescue, saturation diving, experimental diving, underwater construction and welding, as well as serving as technical experts to the Navy SEALs, Marine Corps, and Navy EOD diving commands.
The U.S. Navy is the lead agency in military diving technology and training within the U.S. Department of Defense. The foundation of the Navy diving program consists of the Navy Diver (ND) rating for enlisted personnel who perform diving as their occupational specialty in the Navy.
Technical Excellence and Courage
Navy Divers are among the most highly trained technical specialists in the military. They complete one of the most challenging training pipelines in the Navy, mastering surface-supplied diving, SCUBA operations, mixed-gas diving, saturation diving, underwater cutting and welding, rigging, salvage operations, and emergency procedures. Navy Divers must maintain peak physical fitness, technical proficiency, and the mental toughness required to work in the demanding underwater environment.
Navy Divers perform critical missions that keep the fleet operational. They conduct underwater ship repairs that allow vessels to remain on station, perform salvage operations to recover equipment and vessels, clear harbors of obstacles and ordnance, rescue submarine crews, and support special operations. Their work is often performed in zero visibility, strong currents, cold water, and at depths that require technical diving skills and courage.
