    Military or special operations personnel are being assisted with diving or breathing apparatus equipment. The primary subject wears a tactical helmet, full-face diving mask, and MARPAT desert camouflage uniform, while a tattooed individual with a Garmin GPS watch helps adjust the gear. A second helmeted individual is visible in the background.
    A person wearing tactical military/law enforcement gear is shown in close-up, including a tan ballistic helmet and a black diving/protective mask branded 'Aqua Lung'. They appear to be holding a piece of equipment near their face. The background is blurred but shows what appears to be a red and white structure or signage.
    A black inflatable rubber raiding craft (CRRC) is operating in turquoise coastal waters. Personnel in desert camouflage uniforms and tactical gear are aboard, while at least one individual appears to be entering or exiting the water from the vessel. The scene is consistent with a military maritime insertion or combat swimmer training exercise.
    A group of military or special operations divers are seen at the water surface wearing tactical gear including helmets, diving masks, and black wetsuits. A red warning buoy marked 'DIVER BELOW' with the number '2' is visible among the swimmers. The background shows a coastline with vegetation and buildings, suggesting a tropical or subtropical location.
    Two military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are seated on a watercraft, equipped with closed-circuit rebreather diving systems, tactical helmets, and full-face diving masks. A third individual in civilian attire (black tank top and shorts) stands nearby, appearing to oversee or instruct the divers. The setting appears to be a coastal or near-shore maritime environment under overcast skies.
    Military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms and full scuba diving gear are entering the water from what appears to be a dock or pier. A second inflatable rubber combat boat (CRRC) is visible in the background with additional personnel aboard. An observer in civilian-style black clothing with a visible tattoo and sunglasses watches from the dock.
    An underwater photograph showing multiple divers near the seafloor in clear turquoise water. The divers appear to be connected by a rope or line and are equipped with full diving gear including tanks and wetsuits. The image is taken from a shallow depth with the water surface visible at the top of the frame.
    A group of military personnel in tactical gear are traveling across open ocean in a black inflatable rubber raiding craft (CRRC). One individual is pointing in a specific direction, suggesting navigation or target identification. The image appears to capture a maritime training or operational exercise.
    Two military personnel are seated on an inflatable rubber raiding craft (CRRC) approaching the well deck of a naval amphibious ship. One individual wears MARPAT desert camouflage uniform with a tan helmet and holds what appears to be a compass or small device, while the other wears civilian athletic wear with a multicam tactical vest and helmet. Personnel can be seen observing from the ship's well deck in the background.
