Default Special forces diver badge? Unknown country

Hi folks, I've got this cloth badge but have no idea where in the world it's been issued or what unit it's for.
Any help much appreciated!
It measures around 3 inches long and an inch wide. It came from Christopher Lee's militaria collection.

If you have any badges from Chris Less collection, then you'll need to have them checked, 90% of his collection was "fake" (and he knew it because he purchased direct from the fakers....), Guessing it came via Hogspear?

The badge looks like the Thai badges, personally. However it could be from any number of countries.

Best,
Thomas

No worries, try searching Christopher Lee in our search function and you'll come up with a few links.
