Three military-style patrol boats are visible in the background on the open water. The scene appears to be a coordinated maritime operation with support vessels standing by.
    Two individuals wearing orange life vests and swim fins are entering the water at a rocky shoreline, carrying what appears to be a paddleboard or similar flat watercraft overhead. A third person in an orange life vest is already standing in the water further out. The scene takes place in a calm cove with a rocky, vegetation-sparse hillside in the background and small boats visible on the horizon.
    A military personnel member in US Navy Working Uniform (NWU Type III camouflage) stands at the shoreline with arms raised overhead, appearing to signal toward a group of individuals in the water wearing orange life vests.
