Their motto is, "We dive the world over."
Navy divers go through special training that allows them to do things like explosive ordnance disposal, ship maintenance and salvage.
As KHON2's Jai Cunningham reports, a lot more than just diving goes into the training to make sure these specialist are ready when duty calls.
It's early morning at Pearl Harbor and the work has already started.
More than 60 sailors taking part in P.T., physical training.
"It's kind of a command unity thing. So we try to bring the command together P.T.ing. We have people with a range of fitness here," said Lt. Jennifer Hall.
That range is on the high end, and I found out first hand.
Try circuit training, eight stations, five rounds. That means pull-ups, dips, air squats, pushups - all-around fitness.
This work is important for what these divers and support staff do when called into action.
"And then when we go out on deployment it's extremely important for us to be able to perform and complete the mission out there, whether it be underwater. You know a diver is much more resistant to decompression sickness when he's got some physical fitness behind him," said Matthew Kievlan of the Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit.
"Not only do we get in the water and do scuba dives, but there is also a lot of rigging, heavy salvage and heavy work. So we need to keep our fitness up," said Hall.
"It really depends on what the mission is, but it's a very versatile unit. So you'll see us doing all sorts of different things when on deployment. Quite a bit of humanitarian work when needed. You know we went out and inspected some piers just recently for some earthquakes around the world," said Kievlan.
The divers from Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit ONE recently helped empty fuel from a sunken ship in American Samoa.
They "Dive the World Over", and on a daily basis they keep fit to fight right here at Pearl Harbor.
