1-79. Divers are required to perform diving duties IAW AR 611-75 to maintain proficiency and draw special duty pay. As a minimum requirement, a combat diver must perform six qualifying dives within 6 months, one deep dive (70 to 130 FSW) within 12 months and be in a qualified status. The criterion for qualifying dives and status are listed in AR 611-75 and USASOC Reg 350-20. To maintain proficiency at infiltration swimming, detachments should conduct underwater compass swims monthly using open- or closed-circuit breathingapparatus. Swims should be done with properly waterproofed and neutrally buoyant rucksacks. Once each quarter, the team members waterproof and pack (according to the SOP) the team’s equipment into their rucksacks. This operation should use the team swim concept—the detachment is linked together by a buddy line, if need be, and moves through the water and onto the shore as one unit.
