U.S. Navy Experimental Dive Unit

The U.S. Navy Experimental Dive Unit (NEDU) is a specialized research and development organization that tests and evaluates diving equipment, techniques, and procedures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of Navy divers. It conducts experiments and provides scientific data on hyperbaric and hypobaric environments, helping develop protocols for underwater operations, salvage, rescue, and underwater construction. NEDU's work supports safe deep-sea diving practices, advances in underwater technology, and ensures Navy divers can perform complex tasks safely in challenging underwater environments.
