    Spc. Douglas Adams, a diver with the 7th Engineer Dive Detachment, exits a decompression chamber during an underwater recovery mission near Nha Trang, Vietnam, March 20, 2018. All divers spent time in the chamber to acclimate themselves to normal air pressure after they worked 80 feet below on the sea floor for about an hour.

    A close-up photograph of a person's forearm and torso near a body of water. The forearm features a prominent black tattoo depicting a humanoid figure, possibly a warrior or deity. The person is holding colorful hula hoops (red, yellow, and blue) and is wearing a black athletic outfit.
    A large work barge is anchored in coastal waters with mountainous terrain visible in the background. The barge is equipped with a yellow mobile crane and various heavy machinery, suggesting an offshore construction or salvage operation. Two Vietnamese flags are prominently displayed on the vessel.
    A diver is being fitted with a professional diving helmet, identifiable as a Kirby Morgan ScorFlow model, colored yellow and red with chrome fittings and the number '37' on top. The scene appears to take place in Vietnam, as evidenced by the Vietnamese flag (red with yellow star) visible in the background. A support crew member in a Columbia-brand white shirt is assisting with securing the helmet.
    A group of individuals in scuba diving gear are gathered on a waterfront dock or platform, receiving a briefing from an instructor holding a notepad and pen. Several participants are wearing full wetsuits with diving equipment, and at least one person is visibly wearing a prosthetic leg. The setting appears to be a tropical or coastal location under a red canopy tent with calm blue ocean water in the background.
    Two men are working together on what appears to be a flat-deck barge or work vessel on open blue water. The man on the left, wearing a white long-sleeve shirt and blue Adidas shorts, is using a shovel to mix or move wet concrete/cement into a cylindrical container. The man on the right, wearing a green t-shirt, gray cap, and sunglasses, is assisting by holding or guiding the container, and has visible tattoos on his arm.
    Several workers are operating on what appears to be a floating archaeological or geological screening platform over open water. They are using water hoses to wash sediment through mesh-bottomed wooden sifting screens, a technique commonly used in underwater excavation or sediment sampling operations. The workers are wearing protective gloves, hats, and casual work attire suited for outdoor water-based labor.
    Two young men are working in what appears to be a military or logistics environment near shipping containers. The foreground individual is focused on manipulating colored mechanical components (yellow, green, red), while the background individual holds a communication device. A stenciled label reading 'WDBRAA 7TH DIVE FT. SHAFTER' is visible on a container behind them.
    Two divers wearing professional-grade yellow diving helmets and black wetsuits are exiting the water via a metal ladder attached to a vessel. Both divers are equipped with full-face diving helmets, hoses, and diving gear consistent with commercial or military diving operations. A multicolored rope (red, yellow, and blue) is visible in the water alongside the divers.
    A scuba diver in full gear is leaping off the edge of a vessel into open blue water, while a second person on deck holds a safety/tether rope. A second diver appears to have already entered the water below, visible as a splash. The scene takes place on a sunny day with calm seas and a mountainous coastline visible in the background.
    A group of workers are engaged in a hands-on outdoor task involving metal pipes or rods secured to a wooden frame structure, likely on or near water. The foreground subject is a male wearing a gray cap, green t-shirt, and blue rubber gloves, with a visible tattoo on his forearm. Multiple individuals are working in parallel along the same structure in bright daylight conditions.
    A close-up photograph shows a pair of blue rubber-coated work gloves holding a single bullet or cartridge. The gloves appear wet or oily, with a textured grip surface visible. The item being held appears to be a spent or unfired rifle/pistol cartridge with a brass casing.
    A professional diver in full diving gear, including a yellow hard hat helmet and black wetsuit with a scuba tank, is being assisted by a support crew member on what appears to be a vessel or platform at the water's edge. The support crew member is wearing Mechanix brand gloves and holding colored cables (red, blue, yellow) that are connected to the diver's equipment. The scene suggests a military or commercial diving operation taking place in open ocean conditions.
    Two men are examining a document or logbook together inside what appears to be a narrow technical or industrial workspace. One man wearing a tan cap and blue tie-dye shirt is pointing at the document while the other in a gray shirt leans in to observe. The setting contains large white equipment or machinery along one wall.
    A shirtless man wearing blue swim shorts is climbing through a circular hatch or airlock of what appears to be a hyperbaric chamber or submarine vessel. He is gripping the interior structure with both hands while maneuvering his body through the opening. The interior reveals various equipment including cables, gauges, valves, and a breathing mask/regulator.
