    Military personnel are participating in a Helicopter Underwater Escape Trainer (HUET) exercise inside an indoor training facility with a pool. The simulator, designed to replicate a helicopter fuselage, is partially submerged in water with water visibly draining from its pontoons. Personnel in camouflage uniforms are seated inside the simulator compartments while an instructor or safety observer stands on an exterior platform.
    Two individuals wearing military flight helmets are in a pool alongside a partially submerged helicopter or aircraft simulator. This appears to be a military underwater egress or helicopter ditching survival training exercise conducted in an indoor pool facility. One trainee is visible above the water surface with mouth open, while a second trainee is partially submerged in the foreground.
    A swimmer in a pool is positioned alongside a large dark-colored underwater or semi-submerged vehicle/device, likely a diver propulsion vehicle or submersible craft being tested in an indoor pool facility. The scene appears to be a military or research training exercise, with the vehicle partially submerged and suspended by overhead rigging. The pool is illuminated with teal/green lighting, creating a distinctive aquatic atmosphere.
    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are conducting underwater breathing or dive training in an indoor pool facility. Multiple trainees are in the water holding yellow breathing hoses/regulators in their mouths while an instructor in full scuba gear provides guidance. The pool wall displays a 'NO DIVING' sign and depth markers indicating 4 feet 6 inches.
