Navy Divers

Twenty-seven young men begin their quest to become members of the Navy's elite Clearance Diver Branch. At the RAN's Diving Training School in Sydney they launch into the week-long Clearance Diver Assessment Test [CDAT].

Now, the real training begins. In the first module of the course the new recruits must prove they can cope with the deep. Clearance divers are often used to conduct deepwater battle repairs to ships and strategic infrastructure.

Only thirteen men remain on the course and the training is about to get even more severe. Now, the surviving recruits face the nightmare of Maritime Tactical Operations where sleep will become a distant memory.

The men of Basic Clearance Divers Course number 67 are deployed to a remote tropical island off the Queensland coast where they must complete the final 'demolitions' phase of their training.
