Special Tactics students learn to breathe underwater

A Special Tactics Training Squadron student’s equipment is laid out during a pre-scuba class at Hurlburt Field, Fla., June 29, 2016. The purpose of this training is to familiarize the trainees with the basics of water operations. The training familiarizes trainees with the basics of water operations. The trainees perform tasks such as tying knots underwater, learning how to stay afloat without their arms and hands, and how to use snorkeling gear. Special Tactics students later apply this knowledge to combat dive training. This training also reproduces physiological effects similar those experienced on the battlefield, and thus builds the necessary mental resiliency for ground special operations force.
