“In the Combat Dive Qualification Course, dive school trainees learn surface and subsurface waterborne infiltration. The school also conducts the Combat Diving Supervisor’s Course and Diving Medical Technician Course. Since World War II and into modern conflicts across the globe, divers have played an integral part in not only the military’s war records, but also in the country’s history. Annually, the school trains more than 300 service members in three courses and conducts support training for more than 1,000 troops preparing for deployments or conducting certifications.” –From Army.mil
