Divers Quotes

Divers quotes here blend two very different meanings of the word: the archaic English sense of 'divers' meaning various or several, found in older royal and religious writing, and the modern sense of scuba divers working with navies around the world for maritime security. One historical line even uses 'divers men' to describe multiple people who know the speaker. It's a rare case where an old and new meaning sit side by side.

These divers quotes mix archaic English usage with modern lines about scuba divers and naval operations. For more historical language, see our About collection.
