The Indian Army organised a specialised scuba diving demonstration and training session for Agniveers at Manoj Pandey Swimming Pool, 11 GRRC in Lucknow, aimed at enhancing their operational preparedness and skill development. The initiative focused on introducing young soldiers to underwater operations, an essential capability in modern military scenarios that demand versatility and adaptability.
The training programme was conducted with the support of the Scuba Diving Federation of India and provided hands-on exposure to essential diving techniques. Agniveers were trained in controlled aquatic environments where they learned to manage breathing, maintain composure under pressure and adapt to underwater conditions. Such exercises are designed to build both physical endurance and mental resilience, which are crucial for handling complex operational challenges.
Officials said that the session also emphasised safety protocols and underwater navigation, ensuring that participants develop a disciplined approach while operating in unfamiliar and demanding environments. The initiative reflects the Indian Armyโs continued focus on expanding the capabilities of its personnel beyond conventional training methods.
