Even in winter weather conditions, which are not typical for sea dives, Maritime divers study, train and perform their assigned tasks.

Diving training for soldiers of Special Actions Divisions is just one of the elements of their official activities. However, given its specifics, training is mandatory and necessary to ensure immersion in combat conditions, while performing the task of inspecting the ship. After all, the illegal activity of illicit movement of contraband, prohibited and dangerous goods across the state border is constantly improving, looking for new sophisticated tricks to hide their shipments.

In contrast to such inventors, the border agency is constantly innovating in protection against criminals and external aggression. Thus, diving crew are not only involved in the inspection of foreign vessels, but also check the underwater part of the ship-boat composition, which leaves for service at sea or returns from service.

Despite the respectable experience of combat units, they are actively used in the service and provide reliable border protection. Precisely because the caring, rational and competent attitude of the staff: both on board and under the boards. Thus, the detected betimes problem, including the "underwater" problem, is eliminated in the shortest possible time thanks to the divers, that allows not to reduce the level of the ship or boat readiness, and for soldiers – to train vigilance in extreme underwater conditions.

Thanks to the systematic and comprehensive development of international cooperation of the Maritime Guard of the State Border Guard Service, diving specialists of the Special Operations Units, equipped with modern equipment and equipment for descents in weather conditions from hot summer to severe winter, can inspect the construction features of vessels, detect and expose hiding-places and sabotage, counteract other manifestations of hostile aggression and provocations, such as winding hidden poaching gear on screws, detecting unknown buoys, and more.

But above all – a systematic training that allows you to use skillfully professional equipment, keep ready weaponry and secure the divers themselves, because their profession is associated with a risk to life.
