An instructor wearing an orange immersion/survival suit is seated on the deck demonstrating or explaining something to a group of workers wearing hard hats and personal flotation devices. The setting suggests a maritime safety training exercise, likely conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard or a similar maritime authority.
