Regular Training of River Flotilla Divers
Tuesday, 28.12.2021 | Training
Regular and fitness training of divers of the River Flotilla in winter conditions is conducted this week on the part of the Danube near Novi Sad.
Training is conducted in order to maintain a high level of capability, which provides the required readiness of divers to perform complex diving tasks on rivers, canals and lakes in all weather conditions.
The training program includes conditioning in the hyperbaric chamber and then the river training of divers, which include practicing diving in procedures, search of the river bottom, inspection of the underwater part of the hull, as well as in the case of underwater incidents that require rescue and emergency transport of the injured.
A large number of complex tasks performed by divers in the Serbian Armed Forces, from underwater blasting and weapons testing to search and rescue in all weather conditions, require that their training takes place throughout the year. Diving in conditions of reduced visibility, at very low water temperatures, is one of the biggest challenges for divers, which is why regular training in winter conditions is an imperative part of the training.
