The "traditional" tattoo for U.S. Navy deep sea divers is the age old U.S. Navy Mark V (MOD 1) deep sea diving helmet. The tattoo is normally worn on the lower leg. This helmet is also the the rating badge and warfare device now worn on the left sleeve and upon the chest of U.S. Navy surface supplied aka "Deep Sea" Divers. It is strongly looked down upon for U.S. Navy Scuba divers to consider wearing this tattoo and most know not to. U.S. Navy SCUBA divers have not completed the same rigorous training as their "Deep Sea Diver" counter parts, and are not authorized to bear the surface supplied diver insignia.
