ДЄs the Clone Wars broke out between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems in 22 BBY, and the CIS equipped itself with manta droid subfighters and other aquatic machines-allying itself with marine races such as the Quarren and the Ishi Tib-it became apparent that the Republic would need to make use of its aquatic soldiers and weapons to combat these new foes. Equipped with state of the art aquatic gear, clone SCUBA troopers were trained within the oceanic combat simulators of Kamino's stilt cities to battle efficiently underwater. While the clones of Fett were all genetically identical, with the exception of the Advanced Recon Commandos, a few groups were selected to undergo specialized training for combat in specific environments, training supplemented by equally specialized armor. Like all clone troopers, SCUBA troopers were clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, born on the planet Kamino, a watery world located in the region of the galaxy known as Wild Space.

Outfitted with equipment designed to allow them to wage war effectively while underwater, SCUBA troopers allowed the Galactic Republic to even the odds against aquatic enemies. Born on Kamino and genetically identical to their more common clone brethren, clone SCUBA troopers were an elite group of clone troopers that underwent specialized training in underwater tactics and weaponry for use against aquatic enemies.
