[01] Unsurprisingly the Indian Navy has the largest, most experienced and well equipped diving cadre in the country. Navy divers are also the talent pool for MARCOS special forces.
Navy divers, and in fact divers across all services are graduates of the elite Diving School at Kochi.
Indian Navy maintains Command Clearance Diving Teams (CCDT) in all commands. Aside from clearance diving divers also perform EOD and Mine Clearance.

[03] #IndianArmy divers - found in the special forces for sabotage and counter terrorism.
