But why would you want to? Why go through the headache of enlisting into another branch of the military when you can just join a SCUBA team?

That's fine, if you honestly think being a Navy SEAL or on an SF dive team is just about scuba diving. If you want to blow bubbles sign up with your local PADI dive shop.
These days people join the SOF community for one reason... to fight terrorism. Each component of SOF does just that in a very different way. Comparing an SF dive team to a Navy SEAL team is like saying bicycles and air balloons are the same thing. True, both are viable modes of transportation that will get you from Point A to Point B, but in very unique and different ways.
I am willing to bet that the reason(s) your buddy has for wanting to try a different SOF community has nothing to do with scuba diving. However, IMHO, if life as an SF guy wasn't "challenging" enough for him, then he obviously wasn't challenging
himself enough. I am willing to bet he will run into the same frustrations in his new line of work.
