Ep. 136 Ashley Semmens Royal Australian Navy Clearance Diver

On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with Ashley Semmens former Royal Australian Navy Clearance Diver.

Ashley spent 18 years in the Australian navy enlisting in 2005 into the direct entry program as a Clearance Diver. Ashley deployed multiple times which included Op Resolute Border Security,  OP Manitou, a human remains recovery in Tongan deep waters and two deployments to Afghanistan on OP Slipper providing Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Reconnaissance to the Infantry combat team whilst on patrol in Afghanistan and during the withdrawal of Afghanistan in 2021.  In 2022 he was medically discharged at the rank of Chief Petty Officer in which now he volunteers his time to the Clearance Diver Trust.

Clearance Divers (CDs) are the Australian Defence Forces’ specialist divers. CD tasks include specialist diving missions to depths of 54 metres, surface and underwater demolitions, and the rendering safe and disposal of conventional explosive ordnance and improvised explosive devices.
