# getDiverState

*Command · Object Manipulation · Arma 3 v1.96*

## Description

Returns [true](../commands/true.md) when object is in diver state - e.g when the unit would put diving [goggles](../commands/goggles.md) on.

> [!NOTE]
> Diving [goggles](../commands/goggles.md) remove blurriness underwater, however when assigned, they do not appear on the face of the unit until the unit steps into the water.
> This command allows to detect the moment when the goggles are visible.
> If the unit doesn't have diving goggles assigned, this command would still return [true](../commands/true.md) at appropriate time if the unit steps into the water.

- `unit`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)

**Returns:** [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - [true](../commands/true.md) when diving [goggles](../commands/goggles.md) are visible
