Imagine being an elite Navy SEAL. Could you possibly conceive the primal rush a SEAL must feel on a water-borne mission? Concealed under the cover of darkness, making way through turbid waters, silently slipping behind enemy lines to complete the mission. Are there even words to describe the feeling?

Most the worlds population will never know the mind of these select few combatants. The agonizing training, the years of preparation... the thrill of the mission!

You may never know what it is like to be a Navy Seal unless you actually go through the rigors of all the training... and you do not quit! However, you can come close... former Navy SEAL Dave Ferruolo, NAUI Course Director and TDI Nitrox and Rebreather Instructor trainer and President of Fathom Divers, Inc. has developed the ‘The Seal Experience’ - a two day course to allow you to come as close to the real thing as possible, in a non-military, safe and supervised way. The course has four phases:

Water Proficiencies: Basic Watermanship Skills! Learn what a SEAL trainee goes through during water training at BUD/s.  Drown-proofing, swimming, treading water, swimming skills, Snorkeling Skills, Diving Drills and the dreaded 'POOL COMP'.

Combat Shooting: Learn how to shoot like a pro. In a safe and controlled environment, without anyone shooting back, learn the art of quick-shooting and double tapping. Become familiar with weapons like the: Beretta 92F, AR-15, MP-5, UZI, Glock and more.

Mission Tasking and Work-up: In this phase you will be tasked with a mission, plan the mission and do mock drills to prepare.

Mission Execution: The last phase is the actual mission, with a real objective... and yes, you will have to negotiate your way around a small group of ‘Bad Guys’ to accomplish your task. And you DON’T want to get caught!!!
