Job Description:
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. They journey
anywhere from the darkest depths of the world's oceans to freezing
arctic-like conditions underneath icebergs, accomplishing a number
of tasks only few can perform, with no margin for error.
Navy Divers may be expected to:
* 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 the technical experts for diving evolutions for numerous
military Special Operations units
* Provide security, communications and other logistics during
Expeditionary Warfare missions
* Carry out routine ship maintenance, including restoration and
repair
RESPONSIBILITIES
Your job as a Navy Diver could encompass many dive specialties,
including:
Salvage and recovery - Locating and retrieving wreckage; conducting
harbor and waterway clearance, underwater repairs and salvage
operations in all environments
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 underwater tasks can be
completed by feel only - 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. Training includes:
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 any or
all of the following:
* 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.
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. 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/Naval Special Operations
(NSW/NSO) community have any number of unique opportunities to
advance their education. Navy training provides skills and
knowledge in everything from the fundamentals of explosive ordnance
disposal to chemical and biological warfare, military tactics,
deep-sea diving or a number of other tactical military
procedures.
Beyond offering access to professional credentials and
certifications, Navy training in the EOD community 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 opportunities like:
* Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance
* Post-9/11 GI Bill
QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS
Males and females are eligible to apply to become Enlisted Navy
Divers. No college degree is required, but a high degree of
difficulty and satisfaction is standard. Training is tough and
ongoing. You can apply for the Navy Challenge contract for Divers
at any time during your first enlistment.
Entry Requirements:
* Eyesight 20/200 bilateral correctable to 20/25 with no color
blindness

AR+VE=103, MC=51
