Defense Conseil International (DCI) opens a new international military diving school

The DCI-NAVCO military diving school takes possession of a new infrastructure and opens a brand new international military diving school (CIFPM) in Saint-Mandrier. 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.

Fitted with all the educational and technical means needed for the French know-how transfer in diving, the DCI school uses the land and sea training areas made available by the French Navy.

“I am proud of this new school confirming the close relationship DCI maintains with the French navy diving school. This reinforces 11 years of fruitful cooperation and suggests a pooling of means and men to serve friendly navies.” declares Admiral Bruno Nielly, DCI-NAVFCO director.
