WHich of you have been in contact with military divers? I mean assault frogmen, not armed forces' work divers. What are assault frogmen trained and equipped to do in a real war (not in training) if while on a mission they come across sport divers who might raise the alarm and thus endanger the mission?

It appears no one has survived an encounter with such a military diver
I should imagine that this would be a very unlikely scenario; I mean, who goes rec scuba diving in a war zone? That said - I would suppose that they would have to treat them the same way as ordinairy civilians would be treated by soldiers. That would probably depend on whose army they belong to!

Avoid contact and continue the mission.
It is not like sport divers are going to be hard to detect.

Anything more interesting than that is classified & you probably shouldn't know about it. What country are you from? Your message seems stilted. Why do you want to know this info? If you are a bad guy--go try and find them. I guarantee they will be better equipped and better trained, working in a team, and more than ready for anything you have to offer.

Most likely you would be found dead, if you were thought to be a serious hazard to the mission. Of course, you might not be found for a while.
The one SEAL that I know is retired. I do understand he could kill me if he wanted to, and if his back allowed him to. That is why I am nice to his wife.

If this is a real war zone how would he know you're a rec diver and not an enemy seal disguised as a rec diver just for the surprise element?
Or maybe he's the one dressed in pink and you're the one dressed in black?

they are probably trained to evade and remain unseen. given their skills and
procedures, i doubt it if you'd ever see them anyway
i did meet a SEAL. i didn't even know he was a SEAL until several years
after meeting him.
he did seem awful competent in all things he did in and around a boat,
very sure-paced and sure-footed, and a great guy
There is are several weapons that are designed to be used against divers. The link below shows an old German design that was used by many countries during the Cold War.
I would assume that it is highly unlikely that a combat diver will encounter a recreational diver during a mission. Combat divers operate at night and, because they use Oxygen CCRs (such as the Drager LAR series), are confined to a relatively shallow depth. Recreational diving, especially at night, would not be permitted around sensitive military installations/areas anyway.
The way is to the destructive element submit yourself,
and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water
make the deep, deep sea keep you up...
