(Anti-frogman techniques) There have been incidents which have demonstrated poor underwater security, when a sport diver with a noisy bubbly open-circuit scuba and no combat training entered a naval anchorage and signed his name on the bottom of a warship. Concern at the risk of increasing the sport diving public's ability to penetrate harbors undetected, and of unofficial groups equipping combat frogmen from the sport scuba trade, might have led to the events listed below under Prevention. ...more on Wikipedia about "Anti-frogman techniques"

The controlled buoyant lift is an underwater diver rescue technique used by scuba divers to safely raise an incapacitated diver to the surface from depth. It is the primary technique for rescuing an underwater and unconscious diver. It can also be used where the casualty has lost or damaged his or her diving mask and cannot safely ascend without help. ...more on Wikipedia about "Controlled buoyant lift"

A diffuser is a device fitted over an underwater breathing set's blowoff hole to break up the resulting bubbles very small so they will not be seen from out of the water. They are mostly needed in frogman-type diving operations where secrecy is needed, and in marine biology to avoid scaring fish which are being studied. Designing an adequate diffuser on a rebreather is much easier than on open-circuit scuba. ...more on Wikipedia about "Diffuser (breathing set part)"

Diver rescue, following an accident, is the process of avoiding or limiting further exposure to diving hazards and bringing a SCUBA diver to safety. A safe place is often a place where the diver cannot drown, such as a boat or the shore, from which professional medical treatment can be sought. ...more on Wikipedia about "Diver rescue"
Diver training is essential for safe diving. Not only is the underwater environment hazardous but equipment such as SCUBA can be dangerous to the untrained. ...more on Wikipedia about "Diver training"
