Navy Divers

Only the very best will survive.....

In four action-packed half-hour episodes, Navy Divers reveals the harrowing physical and mental challenges confronting an extraordinary group of young men training to become navy clearance divers... and only the best will survive.

Plunging to death-defying depths, detonating bombs and launching covert attacks behind enemy lines makes navy clearance diving one of the toughest jobs in the world. This is the SAS of the underwater world.

This elite force demands complete physical and mental strength, rock solid stamina and bravery. But above all, if you want to join this unit, you must conquer the navys toughest and most extreme training program.

Filmed on location at the clearance diver training school in Sydney with the co-operation of the Royal Australian Navy, this gripping observational documentary series discovers just what it takes to make it as a navy clearance diver, following a group of trainees as they embark on the biggest challenge of their lives.

A select, male-only group of sailors are pushed to their absolute limits on a gruelling regime thats designed to match the relentless demands and dangers of real life operations. From exhausting six kilometre swims across shark-infested waters to nerve-shredding bomb disposals at depths of up to 60 metres, each day presents a new and increasingly difficult test of skill, strength and endurance. Monitored by doctors and psychologists, candidates must cope with constant pressure and stress while operating in an environment where one mistake can mean the difference between life and death. Continual and ruthless assessment means that every day is a battle for survival. With one of the highest drop-out rates in the navy only the fittest and the strongest will succeed.

For every candidate the stakes are incredibly high. For many it will be the crowning glory of their career and the ultimate reward for years of hard work and determination. If you can pass clearance diver training youre about to become part of one of the defence forces most specialised and highly regarded elite forces. Fail and your entire naval career could be over.
