In 1965, the area that was formerly used by Torpedo Squadron in Haifa naval base was transferred to Unit 707. The unit's headquarters, the workshop, the dining hall and the living quarters were all situated there. Since the culvert there was suitable only for Shayetet 11 vessels, the unit's men themselves built a pier to launch their vessels.{{citation needed|date= August 2024}}

During the War of Attrition the unit's numbers grew and its squads were permanently deployed in other locations. The diver squad of the Eilat Naval Base had nine divers who also carried out inspections of civilian Oil tankers. A similar force was in the Sharm el-Sheikh. The unit's headquarters remained in the Haifa naval base. After the Yom Kippur War, a large part of the unit stayed at the naval base in Fanara, west of Bitter Lakes. A squad of about ten people was at the naval base in Sharm el-Sheikh until the evacuation of Sinai Peninsula as part of Egypt–Israel peace treaty.{{Cite web |title=Camp David Accords: Framework for the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel |url=https://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/research/framework_for_the_conclusion_of_a_peace_treaty |access-date=2020-11-13 |publisher=The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181205133620/https://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/research/framework_for_the_conclusion_of_a_peace_treaty |archive-date=5 December 2018 |url-status=live}}{{Cite news |title=Israel returns Sinai to Egypt |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1982/04/25/Israel-returns-Sinai-to-Egypt/1136388558800/ |access-date=2020-11-13 |website=UPI |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160426080231/https://www.upi.com/Archives/1982/04/25/Israel-returns-Sinai-to-Egypt/1136388558800/ |archive-date=26 April 2016 |url-status=live}}

The required medical profile for joining the unit is 72-97 and a special emphasis is put on ears and pressure comparison. Women are also recruited in this unit since 2004.{{Cite web|url=https://kasda.co.il/en/yaltam-navy-forces/?srsltid=AfmBOorF85anL2KuTd0I3PeGb-GyAvV1c1yl34ZYEnNFzbQf3G2wwMrC|title=YALTAM (Navy forces)|website=Kasda (Israel)}}

The main method for joining the unit is through Shayetet 15 and then gradual progress. Before recruitment, psychotechnical tests and medical examinations are carried out and then they have to go on a voyage for two days on a Shayetet 15 vessel, it is not particularly physically difficult, but helps recruiters select the personnel according to their learning abilities, resilience and cooperation. Further training include a flooding room where personnel have to seal a room while it is being flooded, the vomiting boat with high physical stress being put on the body, drowning simulations and psychological challenges.{{citation needed|date= August 2024}}

Then there is a day of medical testing at the Institute of Naval Medicine at the Haifa naval base. The qualifiers are then subjected to a two-day period including maritime training, a personal interview, a psychological and psychotechnical examination of the candidates, and more. Those who show outstanding performance join the unit while the rest join Shayetet 13 or the Snapir unit. These personnel will further have to train for a year.{{citation needed|date= August 2024}}

The second way is outstanding performance in Shayetet 15 and a summon from the higher ups in the Israel Defense Forces. The training of such personnel lasts about 12 months in Bethlehem.

The training course is divided into two parts, each of which lasts about six months. In the first part the personnel are trained in basic seamanship, counterterrorism, advanced diving, use of specialized tools, photography, navigation amongst other things. The maritime training is mostly carried out in mixed gender teams and includes trips, diving at different times of the day and night, swimming, underwater navigation training, prolonged diving amongst others.{{citation needed|date= August 2024}}

As a part of a presentation of fire to the Prime Minister of Israel, a Gabriel (missile) demonstration was carried out from a beach in southern Ashdod by launching it into the sea, but the missile couldn't be retrieved so the unit was dispatched to recover it. It was the first operational success of the unit.{{Cite web|url=http://moreshetyamit.net/?p=3977|title=מציאת חלקי טילים|website=Maritime Heritage Conservancy (Israel)|language=he}} Another missile was lost during a test near Palmachim, again the unit was dispatched and the parts of missile were located and retrieved.Shlomo Levy, p. 207 The unit was also dispatched for the retrieval of an SS-11 anti-tank missile that fell into the ponds of Kibbutz Ha'on.

An engine fell from a boat of Shayetet 13 in Haifa as it wasn't properly attached. The task of its retrieval was assigned to the unit. It was another successful mission for the unit.{{citation needed|date= August 2024}}

During the construction of the Port of Ashdod, the unit personnel carried out blasting at the bottom of the harbor to remove rocks that were interfering with the construction.{{citation needed|date= August 2024}}

When the National Water Carrier of Israel was established, the unit received a mission to locate salt water channels under the water surface . Moreover, the unit was called to establish a protection system for Degania Dam at the Sea of Galilee to protect it against any possible Jordanian assault.Water Resources in Jordan, Munther J. Haddadin, Resources for the Future, 2006

After the Six Day War, during the Israeli occupation of Sinai, a mine searching team of twelve personnel along with a journalist were dispatched to the Straits of Tiran on June 10, 1967, in two vessels but due to high currents the mission wasn't carried out when water calmed down the search began but no mines were found.Shaul Sela, page 47

On July 13, 1967, a squad of four unit personnel were dispatched to inspect oil production facilities in the Gulf of Suez and found them unharmed. Oil production was resumed and some personnel were stationed to monitor the oil wells.{{citation needed|date= August 2024}}

On July 16, 1967, an Egyptian ferry which was hijacked sailed towards Israel and seemed hostile. The unit along with Shayetet 13 raided the ferry at night and discovered it was operated via an underwater cable and was laden with 200 kg of explosives. The cable was disconnected and the explosives were removed. The vessel was then sailed to Israel.{{Cite web|author=Israel Roth|url=http://moreshetyamit.net/?p=3953|title=פירוק מלכודת בתעלת סואץ|website=Maritime Heritage Conservancy (Israel)}}Shlomo Levy, page 245

INS Eilat sunk on October 21, 1967, most survivors and bodies were recovered that day. Next day the unit personnel scanned the ship's corridors, finding more bodies and removed equipment pieces so as not to let them into Egyptian hands. The trapped bodies were freed by explosion, two bodies and many body parts were then retrieved.Shlomo Levy, pages 257-255

It also carried out a raid in Lebanon destroying motorcycles of militants.

YALTAM was also tasked with operational testing of Arrow missiles and on many occasions was also deployed to retrieve the fired missiles.

Over the years, the unit personnel have participated in a large number of search and rescue operations including various operations in search of the missing IDF personnel in the Sea of Galilee and the search operations for the Dakar submarine.{{Cite web|url=https://israelforeignaffairs.com/2016/04/nobody-left-behind-continue-to-search-for-the-missing-pilot/|title=Nobody left behind: continue to search for the missing pilot|website=Israel Foreign Affairs}} It was also a part of the task force to rescue a Shayetet 3 vessel off the coast of Saudi Arabia and the retrieval of a helicopter that had crashed 800m below sea level.
