combat divers
Underwater special forces
Combat divers are military personnel trained to operate underwater for offensive or reconnaissance missions.
They may plant explosives on enemy vessels, conduct sabotage operations, or gather intelligence from beneath the surface.
The role combines diving expertise with commando skills: Navy SEALs begin as combat divers.
Also called frogmen.
