frogman

Military underwater specialist

A frogman is a diver trained for underwater military operations—reconnaissance, demolition, or combat.

The term evokes the image of a swimmer in flippers and wetsuit, moving through water like an amphibian.

Navy SEALs and similar special forces are sometimes called frogmen: The frogmen planted explosives on the hull of the enemy ship.
