The Divers Group (AGRUMERG, Portuguese: Agrupamento de Mergulhadores) is the Portuguese Navy's sapper clearance diver unit.[1] It was created in 2004 through the grouping of the several already existing diving subunits, to exercise administrative, logistical and operational control and management, maritime special operations capable, over all diver units and personnel. It groups under a single command, all previously existing Sappers Divers Units (EOD/Combat Divers, Salvage/SAR, MCM/MW) and Services (Training and Logistics).
