00:07.240 --> 00:09.530
from the ocean's depths to sub zero

00:09.530 --> 00:11.530
temperatures . Us . Navy divers are

00:11.530 --> 00:13.697
ready to perform tasks . Some can only

00:13.697 --> 00:15.920
imagine I'm at peace when I'm in the

00:15.920 --> 00:18.220
water and I don't know if something

00:18.220 --> 00:20.276
about it just comes your balances me

00:20.276 --> 00:22.870
out . For me that is the that's the

00:22.880 --> 00:25.320
best part of the job . That's the whole

00:25.320 --> 00:28.870
reason I do this . Members of this

00:28.870 --> 00:30.981
dedicated force are trained to endure

00:30.981 --> 00:33.148
extreme pressures , solve problems and

00:33.148 --> 00:35.203
achieve goals while being completely

00:35.203 --> 00:37.426
submerged , sometimes with little to no

00:37.426 --> 00:39.850
visibility . There's been a couple

00:39.850 --> 00:42.280
times when you go down there , you get

00:42.280 --> 00:44.447
lost because invisibility so bad . You

00:44.447 --> 00:46.669
can't really tell where you're at every

00:46.669 --> 00:48.724
once in a while . You catch yourself

00:48.724 --> 00:50.836
swimming in circles . Divers serve in

00:50.836 --> 00:52.780
many platforms , including Special

00:52.780 --> 00:54.947
operations rescue , salvage and repair

00:54.947 --> 00:57.002
detachment . Just to name a few . To

00:57.002 --> 00:59.002
begin training for diving duty . We

00:59.002 --> 01:01.002
have to make sure they can tolerate

01:01.002 --> 01:02.724
changes and pressures that you

01:02.724 --> 01:04.891
experience in the water column . So we

01:04.891 --> 01:07.058
did today , we put them inside this re

01:07.058 --> 01:09.224
compression chamber , sealed the doors

01:09.224 --> 01:11.391
and we pressurized it Understand to an

01:11.391 --> 01:13.613
equivalent pressure of what it would be

01:13.613 --> 01:15.836
if you went down to 60 ft of seawater .

01:15.836 --> 01:17.780
I mean , So the pressure your body

01:17.780 --> 01:19.947
would feel at 60 ft of seawater is the

01:19.947 --> 01:22.113
same pressure that we felt inside this

01:22.113 --> 01:21.660
re compression chamber . Today ,

01:22.040 --> 01:24.130
playing the chamber , divers are not

01:24.130 --> 01:26.186
only trained to perform in dangerous

01:26.186 --> 01:28.186
conditions , but to also respond in

01:28.186 --> 01:30.074
emergencies and safely rejoin the

01:30.074 --> 01:31.963
surface world . Using some of the

01:31.963 --> 01:34.930
world's most modern technology , we

01:34.930 --> 01:36.763
have a diver that gets what most

01:36.763 --> 01:38.819
civilians know as the bends . We can

01:38.819 --> 01:40.819
take them down , crush the bubble ,

01:40.819 --> 01:43.152
give it time to re absorb into the body .

01:43.152 --> 01:45.319
Any time that we have a diving ailment

01:45.319 --> 01:47.208
with one of our own divers in the

01:47.208 --> 01:49.208
military , we can fix them properly

01:49.940 --> 01:52.051
with most of their time spent staring

01:52.051 --> 01:54.051
into the abyss . These divers still

01:54.051 --> 01:55.829
find time to give back to their

01:55.829 --> 01:57.829
community through demonstration and

01:57.829 --> 01:59.940
guest speaker appearances . We try to

01:59.940 --> 02:01.996
get out to the community and let the

02:01.996 --> 02:04.162
kids know that there is an opportunity

02:04.162 --> 02:06.218
out there in the military other than

02:06.218 --> 02:08.329
what they see on tv . Diving is not a

02:08.329 --> 02:10.470
highly advertised job , but it always

02:10.470 --> 02:12.581
sparks a lot of interest , especially

02:12.581 --> 02:14.692
with the kids . With all the training

02:14.692 --> 02:16.859
and skills these divers acquire . They

02:16.859 --> 02:19.081
believe teamwork is their most valuable

02:19.081 --> 02:21.026
