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 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.

The sky above is partly cloudy and blue, while the underwater portion shows the diver's torso submerged in green-tinted water.
