Whether you have recently finished school, currently studying, already in the workforce or you have no experience at all, you'll be paid from day one. You'll gain all the skills needed with extensive on-the-job training.
As a Navy Diver (known in the Navy as Clearance Diver), you'll work with a team to complete diving missions and operations to depths of up to 80 metres, from a ship or ashore. Diving operations could include neutralising and disposing underwater explosives, search missions, underwater engineering and maintenance, tactical operations, underwater demolitions, and more.
During your career, you will be rotated through a variety of sea and shore positions. This could include being rotated to mine hunting vessels, Australian clearance diving teams, 2nd Commando Regiment, operation and support roles, major fleet units and instructional roles.
Your duties could include, but aren’t limited to:

2. Search and salvage operations
3. Above and underwater demolitions
4. Underwater scouting, inspections and surveying

9. Mine warfare and counter measures
10. Expeditionary reconnaissance and clearance missions
11. Amphibious operations
12. Instructional and training duties
13. Maritime tactical operations
14. Provide specialist support for boarding parties
Due to the intensity and nature of the role's duties and environment, an ongoing high degree of stamina and physical fitness is required.
As a sailor, you’ll learn additional skills and duties to become highly trained and efficient in supporting the whole ship. This may include ship security, boarding party, firefighting team, flood repair, flight deck duties, ammunitioning, first aid or line handling.
You'll enjoy a competitive salary package, career stability, opportunities for continuous progression and an adventurous lifestyle, all while making a difference to Australia.
