    A large octagonal simulator or training capsule is suspended by a crane over an outdoor swimming pool, partially submerged in the water. Several people are seated inside the capsule while one person in a black wetsuit stands at the entrance. The setting appears to be a military or training facility, likely in Hawaii based on the distinctive hillside terrain visible in the background.
    The image shows multiple individuals inside what appears to be a capsized or deliberately overturned vehicle/craft that is partially submerged in water. The participants are wearing numbered training vests and military-style clothing, strongly suggesting this is a controlled underwater egress or survival training exercise. Water is actively flooding the interior of the overturned structure.
    A person wearing a black helmet numbered '13' and camouflage clothing is emerging from or moving through a body of clear blue water. Water is visibly streaming from their face as they surface, suggesting they have just come up from underwater. The setting appears to be a pool or controlled water environment, consistent with military or rescue training.

    A military service member in camouflage uniform and flight helmet is climbing out of a pool using ladder handrails, soaking wet with water droplets visibly spraying. They are wearing a tan/brown inflatable life vest with a patch on the front and appear to be completing a water survival training exercise. A large metal tower structure, consistent with a dunker or water survival training apparatus, is visible in the background.
