(To Greater Defense)
18/02/22

In the presence of the commander of the divers and raiders group Theseus Tesei, Rear Admiral Massimiliano Rossi, a sober but significant ceremony was held for the award of the related patents at the end of the course Unico Divers 2021.

In fact, nine operators belonging to the Air Force, the Carabinieri, the Harbor Master's Office, the Police and the Guardia di Finanza were authorized to dive, by virtue of the Decree of the Ministry of Defense of 25 June 1984, which certifies the Navy and in particular to COMSUBIN, the burden of training divers belonging to the other Armed Forces and Armed Corps of the State.

This challenging training course has seen new divers try their hand at using the main underwater equipment at various depths, carrying out operations with the aid of helicopters and knowing how to recognize explosive devices, allowing them a ready and next operational use at their own nuclei of membership.

La Diving School of the group therefore continues, in addition to the needs of the Navy, to ensure the fundamental work of training the underwater personnel in favor of the Defense and other departments, ensuring the necessary continuity and also conducting a large annual number of courses also for foreign personnel.
