Hmmm. Maybe I'll start the first underwater fight club. Anyone interested in joining? :eyebrow:

The first rule of Underwater Fight Club is you do not pee in your wetsuit.:rofl3:

The situation isn't likely as a Navy Diver at war is primarily involved with explosives ordinance disposal. If he screws up, he's his own worst enemy (you can drop the knife) :wink:. Alternatively, he's repairing underwater damage to vessels in port. SEALs are used in combat, but as a special ops unit, often they've failed if they are discovered. They don't possess the firepower to be an effective fighting force.

I'm a "pacifist" by nature.... I wear 2-3 knives (one large :wink: ) to help promote pacifism in others :D

Best wishes.
