Deep, dark dives

ARABIAN GULF - The low light, the dark night and the deep sea barely revealed the two silhouettes in the water. Two other figures firmly held their life lines at the bow of the boat.

As quickly as they had jumped in, the divers disappeared into the 180-foot deep water.

Army divers from the 86th Engineer Dive Detachment, from Fort Eustis, Virginia, trained overnight from Thursday, July 21, 2016 until the early morning light, Friday on the Arabian Gulf.

The Deep Blue Exercise training reinforced the leadership skills of the dive supervisors. The primary mission of the exercise was to certify leaders in diving medicine, emergency protocols and mission essential tasks.
