If you have what it takes to join the South African Navy then this is your opportunity as the Navy embarks on a massive nationwide recruitment drive for fresh divers for its ranks.
That is if you are a South African citizen, aged between 18 and 22, and matriculated with pure mathematics.
If older than 22 years, potential candidates should be in possession of a tertiary qualification but be not older than 26 years.
The SANDF said in a statement that divers are integral to any missions and operations of the SA Navy and their invaluable functions include among others, underwater and coastal reconnaissance, search and rescue, clearance diving, demolitions, and salvage operations.
“This is not a regular SANDF recruitment drive but a specific targeted search which seeks to recruit diver candidates for the SA Navy,” SA Navy‘s Captain Prince Tshabalala said.
Kit and fitness requirements
Potential candidates are required to bring swimming costumes and physical training attire (Vest/T[1]shirt, shorts, and running shoes) as they will be put through a selection process that will include physical training and water activities.

For physical activities, candidates will be required to conduct a 2,4km run in under 13 minutes, 40 push-ups, 50 sit-ups, and 7 pull-ups.
