SymbolismThe maple leaf and the Royal Crown represent service to Canada and the Sovereign. The dolphin is a long-established symbol of the sea and is representative of both the domain in which the divers operate and the way in which their own physical skills mirror, to some degree, the capacities of dolphins. The badge is modelled on similar badges worn by other diver groups in the Canadian Forces, with the mask and regulator making this badge distinctive from the others. |
