10 Connects dives with Navy Bomb Squad!

Clearwater, Florida - You've probably never heard their names or seen their faces.

They are the unseen heroes of the Navy, suiting up in dive gear nearly every day, making their way into deep dark waters and dangerous crevices.

They're humble, and they call what they do - the best job in the world.

Navy divers with the bomb squad were at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium this week to mingle with the public and show off their skills underwater during Navy Week.

They want to bridge the gap between the military and the public.

"Me and my team are here demonstrating some of our capabilities," says Chief Clay Pressley with the Navy Bomb Squad.

The longtime specialist says he enjoys answering questions from the public and wants people to know just how special the Navy is.

For Chief Pressley, it's a passion in which he never grows tired.

"For me, diving is something I enjoy to do, but doing it for the Navy is an honor.  It's hard and a camaraderie thing, very small community of us," Chief Pressley told us.

The community in which they work with other divers is elite and quite small, only 1,500 they say, in the entire world.

Not only have these experienced divers been in Iraq and Afghanistan countless times, they've also helped stateside with Katrina and in Minnesota during a massive bridge collapse.  While others are going out, they are the ones doing rescue and recovery missions underwater.

When we went diving in a tank with sharks, not one of them was scared.

That's because they've seen much worse.

They're bomb specialists, and when they show up, that's when things are bad. 

But, they see it as a mission of pride and protection.
