Found a version of this series on youtube that has English subtitles added. Some of you might enjoy viewing it. The program follows a group of young soldiers through their year-long training to become combat divers for Finnish Navy.
First 3 parts are the pool and fitness season before the diving really starts. I think you should all take the tip about how to avoid diver's runny nose!

There are 3 additonal parts of deleted scenes that have more of the boys just hanging about but those aren’t subtitled.
FYI. In Finland “Conscripts and career military are eligible to apply for the training. Annually, about 20 conscripts are trained for diving duties. Applying for combat diver training is voluntary. The conscript divers are trained either for anti-mine or for commando operations, while career personnel may also be trained for deep-sea diving duty. All conscript divers receive at least NCO training during their 12-month service period.”
