Army Careers 12D - Diver

Not all Army operations take place on land. Sometimes, repair, construction and patrolling take place beneath the surface. An Engineer Diver in the Army performs such tasks as reconnaissance, demolition, and salvage, all while being underwater.

As an Army Diver, you'll specialize either as a scuba diver, who works just below the surface of the water, or as a deep sea diver, who usually works for long periods of time in depths up to 190 feet. Some of your duties as a Diver may include: -Inspect and clean watercraft propellers and hulls
-Patch damaged watercraft hulls using underwater welding equipment
-Salvage sunken equipment
-Patrol the waters below watercraft at anchor
-Assist with underwater construction of piers and harbor facilities
-Survey rivers, beaches, and harbors for underwater obstacles
-Use explosives to clear underwater obstacles
