I was referring to the pre 1992 blue on blue badges. Two wrens passed the port diving course in the late 1980s and there have been a few female ships divers in the past so there are some badges out there somewhere.

The first female Royal Navy clearance diver Lt Catherine Ker passed out of the defence diving school in November last year.

The helmet on the badge is a Siebe Gorman admiralty pattern six bolt helmet .Navy clearance divers are still issued with the helmet and two stars badge .I don’t think that the other badges are still in use.
