What is the deepest diver by a us navy diver?
Having spent over 18 years as a Navy Diver/ Saturation Diver and one who stays in pretty good touch with our community I take a shot at this. The answer is based on definition of dive. The Navy has an armored diving system (ADS 2000) where the "diver" is kept at about sea level pressure and the suit is taking the water pressure. In 2006 this system was dove and certified to 2,000ft by Navy Chief Dan Jackson. No decompression required. At the Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU), around '79, a dive team was placed under pressure in the land based "Ocean Simulation Facility" and pressurized to 1,800 feet of seawater (fsw). During the dive the men transferred from the dry chamber into a really big, lower chamber, filled with water, in diving gear. Decompression was about 20 days. The team included John Paul Johnston, Bo Burwell, Tommy Ostertag and a couple other men. I think Dave DeBolt incl. In 1972, in open water (ocean), by a man exposed to 'ambient' pressure, the record was set at 1,010 fsw by a small team including Robert (Bobby) Cave, using the MK2 diving system. Decompression about 2 weeks. By Patrick Hudnall USN Ret.

What are traditional tattoos for navy divers?
The "traditional" tattoo for U.S. Navy deep sea divers is the age old U.S. Navy Mark V (MOD 1) deep sea diving helmet. The tattoo is normally worn on the lower leg. This helmet is also the the rating badge and warfare device now worn on the left sleeve and upon the chest of U.S. Navy surface supplied aka "Deep Sea" Divers. It is strongly looked down upon for U.S. Navy SCUBA divers to consider wearing this tattoo and most know not to. U.S. Navy SCUBA divers have not completed the same rigorous training as their "Deep Sea Diver" counter parts, and are not authorized to bear the surface supplied diver insignia.

What country of origin is the word scuba derived from?
== == SCUBA is an acronym for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. These initials originated in 1939 in the US Navy to refer to US military diver's rebreather sets. As with radar, the acronym has become so familiar that it is often not capitalized and is treated as an ordinary word: for example, it has been taken into the Welsh language as "sgwba". A scuba set provides a scuba diver with the breathing gas necessary to breathe underwater.As far as the root to each individual word:Self- Old English of seolfContained- Old French of contenirUnderwater- Proto-Germanic of onder and watarBreathing- Old English of æðmApparatus- Latin of apparare
