Types of Armed-forces Divers
Tactical diving is a branch of professional diving carried out by armed forces and tactical units. They may be divided into:
- Combat / assault divers.
- Special mission work divers (called Clearance Divers in the Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy), who do general work underwater.
- Work divers who are trained in defusing mines and removing other explosives underwater.
These groups may overlap, and the same men may serve as assault divers and work divers, such as the Australian Clearance Diving Team (RAN).

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types and/or divers:
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
