Special Operations Diver Badge
A silver badge 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height
consisting of a diver’s head in full gear in front of
two crossed Sykes-Fairbain Commando daggers
points up. Around either side of the diver’s head
is diving shark with tail fin behind the dagger point.
Special Operations Diver Badge:
The diver is wearing a low volume mask,
typical of combat diving operations and mouthpiece
with inhalation/exhalation hose of a stealth rebreather.
The daggers recall the heritage of the Office of
Strategic Services (OSS) operational swimmers
of World War II. The shark represents stealth, speed,
power and efficiency in dispatching its prey.
