First of all if you are slotted to go to flight school then it would be extremely difficut to go to dive school. This is because officers would go to BDO (Basic diving Officer) School. The catch is 1) its about 4 months long 2) BDO's are now in Special Operations and are 1140 (EOD) officers as well. I could start on a long tirade about Spec Ops officers (EOD and Dive Quald as well as jump quald) but it would take up to much time on this board. If you have any specific questions I'll answer them for you here or email me. Here is a site to visit that can help with some basic questions and give course descriptions. http://www.cnet.navy.mil/ndstc/
Allergies in general wouldnt dq one form dive duty as long as you can clear (ears, sinuses) and pass the dive PT Test and Physical (similar to a flight physical except you get pressed in a chamber). Hope this helped ya

Thanks for the info! I am just about to start my appication and I was considering putting dive/EOD as one of my choices - along with SWO ( first choice) and NFO.
I have allergies and wear glasses, so I was wondering about how that effected the me in regards to qualification.
EODDave,
Any qualification info ( beyond the stuff on the site) and other interesting facts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you dont qualify for dive school, then you would have NO chance of becoming an EOD/Spec OPs Officer. Now if you were already in the 1140 Billet (Spec OPs) and then get dq'd from diving after youve had the training then thats different. If you have any questions about what disqualifying or not then contact a DMO (Diving Medical Officer), NDSTC (Naval Dive and Salvage Training Center) in Panama City Fl or NEDU (Naval Experimental Dive Unit also located in PC)
