Manual for maintaining Navy DA:
Diving and Explosive Disposal Centre
Dec 8 1953
H.M.C.S. "NADEN" Esquimalt B.C.

This chapter fits into a larger overall bureau of ships manual. Same stamp:

If I'm not mistaken, this training school was the same location as the training base depicted in "Men of Honour"? US Naval training School. Pier 88, North River. New York, NY.

These are lecture notes for a British salvage diving course.
