May 5th day of the diver presidential decree. Day of the diver in Russia
What do we know about such a profession as a diver? Probably only that this is a rather rare dangerous profession. Only strong-willed people can devote their lives to such hard work. But the areas where the work of divers is used are very diverse - this is the maintenance of underwater structures, hydroelectric power plants, oil platforms, ship repair work, inspection of natural reservoirs, rescue work. And if you add to this work in all weather conditions, pressure drops during diving, cold ...
In order to adequately appreciate the work of divers, May 5, 2002 was officially proclaimed the Diver's Day. This date was not chosen by chance. On May 5, 1882, the first and only diving school in the world was opened in Kronstadt, and divers from all over the world considered it an honor to study at this school. Everyone famous words“we are from Kronstadt” went from there.

Be reasonable - and it will be good
The fate of a brave diver...
Diver is an honorable and rare profession that has a rich history. Despite the fact that scuba divers have been working in Russia for many years, they received an official holiday only under Vladimir Putin. The first Diver's Day in our country took place only on May 5, 2002.
history of the holiday
The date was chosen for a reason. At the end of the 19th century in the city of Kronstadt, it was on May 5 that the world's first diving school appeared. Emperor Alexander III signed a decree stating that it should train experienced specialists for underwater work. At that time in Russia there was an acute issue of a shortage of professional divers who needed to deal with the recovery of flooded ships. Several decades have passed since its foundation, and the school has gained respect all over the world.
Kronstadt training has become a symbol of high professionalism. Subsequently, a scientific and methodological basis for Russian divers was developed, the author of which was Admiral V.P. Verkhovsky. This man became the founder of the school of divers. And the head of this educational institution was appointed captain-lieutenant A. G. Leontiev. It enjoyed well-deserved respect in the world.
The school existed for a long time, it was replaced by the Naval Engineering Institute, founded in 1998, after the VVMIU named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky and VVMIU named after V. I. Lenin. This is one of the best naval technical universities in the world. There and now they are preparing good specialists who bravely put their own lives at risk.
Every year on May 5 in Russia is celebrated Diver's Day. This holiday as a professional one was established in 2002 by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation V. Putin at the request of representatives of diving organizations, services and structural divisions of various ministries and departments.
The date for the establishment of this holiday was an important historical event - (April 23) May 5, 1882, by the Decree of Alexander III, the world's first diving school was founded in Kronstadt. In the Emperor's Decree, it was said that the diving school should train "officers and lower ranks experienced in diving for ship needs and underwater mine work."
Back in the middle of the 19th century, after the end of the Crimean War and the liberation of Sevastopol, there was an urgent need for divers to lift guns from sunken ships and clear the fairway. Although, according to contemporaries, there were such specialists in the fleet at that time, they “were sometimes poorly trained, but they valued their work dearly.” In addition, the development of diving in our country of that period was due to the development of the navy and mines. Already in 1861, divers were introduced into the crews of warships of the Russian fleet, and diving equipment became a standard property.
The opening of a diving school in Kronstadt in 1882 put an end to the handicraft training of specialists. Now the training of specialists of this profile has been put on a scientific and methodological basis. Its founder and enlightened leader was Captain 1st Rank (later Admiral) V.P. Verkhovsky, and captain-lieutenant A.G. was appointed head of the school of divers. Leontiev.
By the end of the 19th century, the school had a significant backlog in the theory and practice of diving and enjoyed fame and respect in the world. At that time in Europe it was considered an honor to go to study in Kronstadt. The whole world knows the Russian diving school. "We are from Kronstadt" - this is becoming a worldwide recognition of professional training. The unconditional merit in this belongs to all its personnel, who were painstakingly selected in the fleet and in the institutions of the country by the command.
In addition, the creation of this educational institution marked new stage in the development of diving in our country. The school of divers became the center that united scientific thought in the field of diving and underwater physiology.
For a long time, the training center was the only one in the world where diving specialists were trained. Today, the heir of the Kronstadt diving school is the Naval Engineering Institute, formed in 1998 as a result of the merger of the VVMIU named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky and VVMIU named after V.I. Lenin. This St. Petersburg Naval Technical University worthily bears the high title of one of the best educational institutions in Russia that train divers.
Specialists of this profession today work in many departments and structures, industries and spheres of life. modern society. But so far, diving remains a rather complicated and dangerous profession. Therefore, serious requirements are imposed on a person engaged in this activity - in addition to professional skills, a diver must have stress resistance, a calm and balanced character, good hearing, intelligible speech and, of course, physical endurance. And everything can not but cause respect.
This profession in Russia officially appeared after the royal decree of Alexander III, which was released on May 5, 1882. The training base, where diving was taught under the tsar, was located in Kronstadt. At that time it was considered an honor to visit this city for the purpose of learning diving. It was the Krondshtat training center that had fame throughout the world, and Russian divers were valued throughout the planet. For a very long time, the training center in Krondshtat was the only one in the world. IN modern world it was inherited by the Naval Engineering Institute. Peter the Great.
At that time in Europe it was considered an honor to go to study in Kronstadt. The whole world knows Russian divers. "We are from Kronstadt" - this is becoming a worldwide recognition of professional training. For a long time, the training center was the only one in the world where diving specialists were trained. Today, the heir of the Kronstadt diving school is the Naval Engineering Institute. Peter the Great.
On May 5, 2002, at the request of representatives of diving organizations, services and structural divisions of various ministries and departments, by decree of the President of Russia V. Putin, this day was officially declared Diver's Day.
Reconnaissance divers on the fronts of World War II
There are at least two "true" stories about how the Soviet-Russian naval special forces arose.
First. In 1954, on the beach near one of the Crimean sanatoriums of the Soviet party and state elite, traces of scuba divers were found.
The then panic of the top leadership of the country prompted the leadership of the Armed Forces to decide on the formation of units of combat swimmers - naval special forces.
Another version is "completely different". In April 1956, the Soviet cruiser Ordzhonikidze, on which a unique propeller group was installed, arrived on a friendship visit to Great Britain.
The sources of this information claim that it was then that the Royal Navy combat swimmer, Captain 2nd Rank Krebs, sank into the waters of the Thames to secretly study new Soviet technology. From the same sources it is known that during the repeated immersion, the ship's propeller of our cruiser turned ... "suddenly." The English officer was killed.
The Soviet side apologized and expressed regret over what had happened. It was after this incident, according to informants, that the appropriate unit was urgently organized in the USSR Navy. Later it became known as the "marine special forces".
From the history of the issue. Back in 1938, enthusiastic commanders of the RKKF Savichev, Krivosheenko and Krol suggested the possibility of using a submariner's personal breathing apparatus (IDA) for reconnaissance and sabotage activities. The proposal to create a diving special unit was made by senior lieutenant Afanasyev, an undercover intelligence officer of the ShBF RO, in July 1941. At the end of July of this year, the head of EPRON, Rear Admiral Krylov, reported to the representative of the Headquarters of the Supreme Command, Admiral Isakov, about the advisability of creating a special purpose company (RON). The final result resulted in the following order by the People's Commissariat of the Navy of the USSR dated August 11, 1941: “To form a special-purpose company under the Intelligence Department of the Baltic Fleet, consisting of 146 staff units ... I appoint Lieutenant Prokhvatilov I.V. as company commander.”
The RON personnel received their first baptism of fire when the bridge over the Narva River was blown up in August 1941. At night, by swimming, two scouts, the eldest of whom was Senior Lieutenant Pupkov (the second name was not preserved in the archival materials), towed a sea mine with a temporary fuse downstream to the bridge and fixed it on a support. The bridge collapsed, and the saboteurs quietly returned to the base.
A special page in the activities of the RON is the work of personnel in conducting ice reconnaissance on Lake Ladoga during the days of the siege of Leningrad. It was according to the results of this exploration that the famous "Road of Life" was laid. The operation was led by the RON commander himself, Lieutenant Prokhvatilov.
The search and survey of sunken ships is the most mysterious activity of the RON. On July 30, 1944, a hunter boat under the command of Senior Lieutenant Kolenko sank a German submarine in the Vyborg Bay, which sank at a depth of 30 m. The German command immediately began to show a strange and unusual interest in the place of her death. Enemy aircraft repeatedly heavily bombed the supposed square where the submarine was located, and enemy torpedo boats that broke through here dropped several dozen depth charges.
The commander of the Baltic Fleet, Admiral Tributs, ordered the RON scouts to locate and examine the sunken submarine.
16 divers, led by the company commander, captain of the 3rd rank Prokhvatilov, worked for three days at depths that exceeded the maximum allowable for light diving equipment in service. constant shelling and stormy weather. The task was completed.
It turned out that the submarine was carrying a new German weapon - two electric, acoustically homing T-5 torpedoes with proximity fuses. With their help, the leadership of Nazi Germany intended to defeat the Western allies of the USSR in the Battle of the Atlantic.
The Soviet leadership informed London about the find. In the course of personal confidential correspondence between Stalin and Churchill, an agreement was reached on the urgent dispatch of British specialists to the USSR to study the German torpedo on the spot.
Somewhat later, in accordance with the instructions of the Intelligence Directorate of the MGSH, units of reconnaissance divers, similar to the Baltic RON, are also formed in other fleets.
During the war years, the RON company conducted more than 200 reconnaissance and sabotage operations, half of them using diving equipment. (IAA In the ocean-sea)
Every year on May 5, on the day of the creation of the first diving school in 1882, by personal decree of the Emperor of Russia Alexander III, in Kronstadt, all employees of the diving services celebrate their professional holiday - Diver's Day.
This day was included in the register of memorable dates and holidays. Russian Federation by decree of the President of Russia in 2002.
The diving service of Russia has a rich history and traditions. Russian divers felt in all the wars that Russia waged at sea, participated in all rescue operations on the waters. In tsarist Russia, the Kronstadt diving school was the training center for divers. She earned the fame of the best diving school in the world. Today, divers are trained by the Naval Engineering Institute of St. Petersburg, which has absorbed all the traditions of that diving school, all the baggage of accumulated knowledge and experience. Graduates of this institute are considered among the best specialists in their field all over the world.
The day is official professional holiday, is not a weekend if its celebration falls on a weekday.
