    A scuba diver in full black dry suit and diving gear is in murky green water beside a boat, receiving or handing off an underwater camera housing to a person on the boat. The person on the boat is wearing a gray baseball cap and is carefully handling the white underwater camera housing. The scene appears to be a professional underwater filming operation taking place on a river or lake.

    Underwater archeologist Alexis Catsambis prepares to dive as fellow archeologist George Schwarz hands him an underwater video camera. Both archeologists, assigned to Naval History and Heritage Command, are conducting the excavation of the U.S. sloop-of-war Scorpion. The ship was scuttled in the Patuxtent River to avoid capture by British forces during the War of 1812.
