Army divers train salvage ops on Kuwait Naval Base

Divers, from the 74th Engineer Dive Detachment from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, conducted their annual salvage diver training in the waters of Kuwait Naval Base, Oct. 22.

The two-week training exercise gave second-class divers the opportunity to progress to salvage divers as they trained individually and as a team in evaluated events.

The multi-phase underwater salvage training exercise focused on dewatering, rigging, patching and lift bag operations using scuba and surface-supplied air diving.
