Elite Diving Complex in Aktau Trains Naval Heroes Under New Leadership
A specialised diving training complex in Aktau is now under the command of Lieutenant Zhambek Gazizov. The facility prepares naval divers, rescuers, and other personnel for high-stakes operations in the Caspian Sea. These missions go beyond routine exercises, covering fleet maintenance, shipping safety, and emergency response.
Gazizov joined the military in 2014 without prior military training. Over the past decade, he has risen to lead a centre where divers train for critical roles—roles that directly impact the safety of people and vessels at sea.
The complex itself meets modern standards, featuring water filtration systems, high-pressure compressors, and advanced simulators. Training here is structured in clear stages: theory first, followed by controlled practical sessions, and finally, open-water drills. Divers face demanding conditions, from poor visibility to extreme pressure. Each specialty requires its own tailored program, with courses lasting between one and four weeks. The risks are high, so precision and speed are essential in every exercise. Gazizov’s team ensures that every trainee is equipped to handle the challenges of underwater operations. Their work supports not just naval activities but also the broader safety of shipping and personnel in the Caspian region.
The training complex in Aktau plays a vital role in maintaining operational readiness in the Caspian. Under Gazizov’s leadership, divers receive rigorous preparation for tasks that range from fleet upkeep to emergency rescues. The facility’s modern infrastructure and structured programs ensure that personnel are ready to perform under pressure.
