The FBI has asked scuba shops across the country to keep their eyes open for potential terror threats and other suspicious activity.
Commercial divers should be suspicious of requests to dive in murky water or sewer pipes, use diver propulsion vehicles, perform a deep dive, conduct kick counts or receive extra navigation training, the FBI says.
The FBI acknowledged such actions are generally legitimate, but they could “indicate possible links to criminal behavior.”
The FBI also warns commercial divers to be wary of applicants from countries where “diving is not a common recreation activity,” as well as requests from religious organizations, cults, associations or charitable agencies “not normally associated with diving.”
Other actions the FBI considers suspicious are paying in cash for diving instruction and refusal or reluctance to provide personal information.
