A Clearance Diving Team is a type of naval diving group. See:-
- Clearance Diving Team (RAN) for Australian naval divers.
- Clearance Diver for British naval work divers.
- Frogman for naval divers in general.
They are so called because their first job was clearing mines and wreckage from harbors after World War II.

Points of diving feet together toes pointed hands shaped right
To insert her into water like a needle”

That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?”
