Video report: Defense Conseil International (DCI) New Military Diving School for EOD Divers

Navy Recognition brings you a video report on Defense Conseil International (DCI) Military Diving School which specializes in training Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and mine clearance divers. DCI took possession of brand new and modern infrastructure to open its new international military diving school (CIFPM) in Saint-Mandrier in December 2014.

Jean-Philippe Menoret, Chief Diving Instructor at DCI, guides us through the Military Diving School

The DCI diving school has already trained 360 foreign trainees of 5 different nationalities (Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Slovenia, Malaysia) in 11 years. Since 2003, this school has offered a vast array of military diving trainings in close cooperation with the French navy diving school in Saint-Mandrier. The aim is to train trainees to unexploded conventional ammunitions reconnaissance, identification, destruction and disposal methods and to the conduct of underwater works. Air and mixed gas diving sets are used day and night.

Equipped with the latest educational and technical means needed for the French know-how transfer in diving, the DCI school shares the same training areas (both on land and at sea) as the French Navy.
