    An underwater photograph showing a scuba diver entangled in or working with a large mass of discarded fishing nets and debris on the seafloor. The diver appears to be either caught in or actively removing ghost gear (abandoned fishing nets), which represents a significant marine pollution hazard. The image is taken at relatively shallow depth given the blue-green water visibility.

    More than a dozen soldiers from the 7th Engineer Dive Detachment, 130th Engineer Brigade and construction contractors from Sea Engineering Inc. conducted underwater repairs, Nov. 4-22, to the tsunami damage at Keauhou Small Boat Harbor. For the 7th Engineer Dive Detachment, this was an opportunity for the divers to train and remain proficient on one of their wartime missions: performing port construction and the rehabilitation of waterfront facilities. For those who use the harbor, it provides added safety after the March 11, 2011, tsunami.

    An underwater photograph showing a scuba diver entangled in or working with a large mass of discarded fishing nets and debris on the seafloor. The diver appears to be either caught in or actively removing ghost gear (abandoned fishing nets), which represents a significant marine pollution hazard. The image is taken at relatively shallow depth given the blue-green water visibility.
    A fully equipped diver in a black wetsuit with blue harness and full-face diving helmet is stepping off a green metal platform into water. Two support personnel in casual military-style clothing are present on the platform, one standing and observing, one seated and assisting. The setting appears to be a tropical or subtropical waterway with palm trees and dense vegetation visible in the background.
    A welder is working outdoors in a parking lot, welding rebar cage assemblies on the ground. The worker is wearing a welding helmet and protective gloves while producing visible sparks at the weld point. A yellow GEHL construction vehicle is visible in the background along with yellow caution tape marking off an area.
    A man wearing a black 'US Army' t-shirt is using a pneumatic jackhammer to break up concrete at the edge of a body of turquoise-blue water. He is bent over, operating the tool on a concrete ledge or dock, with debris and dust visible around the work area. He is wearing safety glasses and ear protection.
    A man wearing a black t-shirt, khaki pants, safety glasses, hearing protection, and work gloves is using a yellow DeWalt power tool on a weathered wooden dock or pier structure. He is crouching near the edge of the dock, working on what appears to be aged, rusted timber framing. The turquoise water visible in the background suggests a coastal or harbor environment.
    A group of workers in dark uniforms are assembling or adjusting a large canopy/tent structure on a waterfront dock during a vivid pink and purple sunset. The scene appears to be a staging or work area near the water, with various equipment and supplies visible. The dramatic sky creates strong silhouetting of the figures and structure.
    Two scuba divers are photographed underwater in low-visibility conditions, appearing to work on or examine a submerged structure or object. A large column of air bubbles rises between them toward the surface, suggesting active exhalation or a pressurized air source. The murky, sediment-filled water significantly reduces visibility.
    A person standing on a dock or platform is handling a teal/blue rope attached to recovered objects, while a scuba diver in the water assists from below. The objects on the wooden platform appear to be encrusted rocks or artifacts, possibly retrieved from an underwater site. This appears to be an underwater recovery or archaeological salvage operation.
