    An overhead view of divers' feet wearing scuba fins on what appears to be a dark metal deck or platform. Two pairs of yellow-and-black fins are visible alongside one black fin, with a person in an orange survival/immersion suit visible on the right. The setting suggests a pre-dive preparation scenario aboard a vessel.

    An overhead view of divers' feet wearing scuba fins on what appears to be a dark metal deck or platform. Two pairs of yellow-and-black fins are visible alongside one black fin, with a person in an orange survival/immersion suit visible on the right. The setting suggests a pre-dive preparation scenario aboard a vessel.
    A U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer is treading water in open ocean while looking up at an orange and white Coast Guard helicopter hovering overhead. The image is captured from a water-level perspective, giving a dramatic low-angle view of the scene. This appears to be either a rescue operation or a training exercise.
    A U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer is in open ocean waters wearing full rescue gear including an orange dry suit and yellow helmet with diving mask. Above, a Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter hovers in position, likely during a search and rescue operation or training exercise. The scene captures a water rescue scenario with moderate wave conditions under a partly cloudy sky.
    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter (number 6030) is conducting a water rescue operation over open ocean. A rescue swimmer is being lowered from the helicopter toward a person in the water wearing an orange survival suit and yellow helmet. This appears to be either an active rescue or a training exercise.
    A United States Coast Guard helicopter, identifiable by its distinctive white and orange livery and 'CG' markings, hovers in a partly cloudy sky. A rescue swimmer in an orange dry suit and fins is being lowered or hoisted on a cable beneath the aircraft. This appears to be either a live rescue operation or a training exercise.
    A water rescue diver is photographed at the water surface using a split-level (over-under) technique, showing both above and below the waterline simultaneously. The diver is wearing a bright orange dry suit, yellow and black helmet with an attached snorkel, and black gloves. The setting appears to be open ocean with choppy conditions under an overcast sky.
    A diver is photographed at the water surface using a split-level (over-under) perspective, showing both above and below the waterline simultaneously. The diver is wearing full diving gear including a dry suit, hood, goggles pushed up on the forehead, and is holding a regulator or communication device near their mouth. The sky above is partly cloudy and blue, while the underwater portion shows the diver's torso submerged in green-tinted water.
    A person in a yellow and black survival/rescue suit is treading water in open ocean while holding an activated orange smoke flare. The scene appears to be a maritime search and rescue operation or training exercise, with rough seas, a vessel visible in the background, and what appears to be a helicopter in the far distance. The orange smoke signal is being used to mark the person's position for rescuers.
    A rescue diver is treading water in choppy open sea conditions while holding a lit distress flare aloft with one raised arm. The individual is wearing full rescue/survival gear including a yellow helmet, diving goggles, a yellow and orange dry suit, and carries a radio and breathing apparatus. This appears to be either an active rescue operation or a training exercise.
