    An underwater photograph taken from below shows two scuba divers inside a metal submersible cage suspended by cables, likely being lowered from a surface vessel. A third diver hovers nearby to the right, appearing to film or photograph the cage and its occupants with an underwater camera. The image is backlit by sunlight filtering through the water surface, creating dramatic silhouettes against a deep blue background.

    Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jumar Balacy (right) documents a surface supplied dive during Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2012. Twenty-two nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in the biennial RIMPAC exercise from June 29 to Aug. 3, in and around the Hawaiian Islands. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2012 is the 23rd exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Anderson C. Bomjardim)

    A fully equipped diver in heavy-duty diving gear is entering or exiting the ocean from the deck of a naval or military vessel. Personnel on deck, wearing dark uniforms with a visible yellow emblem on the back, are managing lines and monitoring the operation. The scene takes place in open blue ocean under partly cloudy skies.
    A member of Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit One assists a fully equipped diver at the side of an inflatable boat on open ocean water. The diver in the water is wearing a yellow hard-hat diving helmet with full surface-supplied diving gear. The scene depicts a military diving operation, likely a pre-dive check or post-dive recovery.
    A diver is wearing a Kirby Morgan professional diving helmet, model 37, with an orange and chrome finish. The large oval viewport reveals the diver's face clearly through the slightly moisture-beaded polycarbonate lens. The helmet is equipped with mounted underwater lights and a SuperFlow 350 regulator.
