The Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV) is a manned submersible used to deliver United States Navy SEALs and their equipment for special operations missions.

The SDV is battery powered and equipped with propulsion, navigation, communication, and life-support equipment. The Mk. 8 Mod. 1 SDV can deliver several fully equipped SEALs to the mission area, loiter in the area, retrieve the SEALs, and return home.

SDVs are generally launched from a Dry Deck Shelter on the back of a submarine.
