Marine divers train at new open-water site

Marine combatant divers from the National Capital Region and Marine Corps Base Quantico took to Lake Anna, Virginia, for the first time July 21 to refresh dive skills and maintain qualifications. They used both open-circuit and closed-circuit underwater breathing apparatuses as well as an underwater propulsion device. About an hour southwest of Quantico, the lake gives divers a training opportunity that Reconnaissance and Amphibious Raids, part of Infantry Weapons Systems at Marine Corps Systems Command, hasn’t offered in years: the chance to dive into something other than a pool.
