NEDU marked a milestone on February 26, 2026. Cmdr. Dustin R. Cunningham was relieved by Cmdr. Nicholas B. Artabazon as the commanding officer of Navy Experimental Diving Unit during the 19th change of command ceremony. Capt. John P. Bauer. Supervisor of Salvage and Diving, served as the presiding officer for the ceremony and former NEDU Commanding Officer, Capt. Jay A. Young, served as the guest speaker.

This momentous event also marked the retirement of Cmdr. Cunningham as he said farewell to not just three remarkable years at NEDU, but 20 years of unwavering dedication to the Navy. During his tenure, Cmdr. Cunningham oversaw the completion of over 150 high-risk operations and experimental research protocols and continued to advance warfighting capabilities across the diving Navy, joint force, and interagency partners.

Cmdr. Artabazon, a native of Richmond, VA, served at NEDU from 2019-2021 as the Test and Evaluation Department Head. He is an Engineering Duty Officer and Diving Officer.
