In this episode of the "Coast To Coasties" Podcast, we dive into 2024 with an exciting episode featuring one of the smallest rates in the Coast Guard, highlighting the Diver (DV) Rate with only about 70 active duty divers in the entire U.S Coast Guard. I sit down with (DV1) Diver first class Andy Murillo who walks us through his day to day life as a diver as well as a detailed discussion on the process it takes to become a diver in the Coast Guard regarding career timeline and physical requirements. We also cover the extensive travelling to all the cool places the dive rate has enabled Andy to travel in during his career and his personal advice for those interested in pursuing a career as a diver. This rate was super awesome to get to learn about from Andy and I strongly encourage everyone interested in learning about what our Coast Guard divers do check out this episode.
