    An underwater photograph taken from below shows two scuba divers standing inside a metal dive cage or personnel transfer basket being lowered from a vessel into deep blue water. The divers are fully equipped with tanks, wetsuits, and yellow helmets, and air bubbles are visibly rising from the top of the cage. The hull of the ship is partially visible at the top of the frame, with guide ropes and a chain suspension system holding the cage.

    Navy Divers assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, Company 4, are raised to the surface after completing a dive during an underwater recovery operation in the Mediterranean Sea in search of an unaccounted-for service member who went missing during World War II. The divers are deployed alongside the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command; JPAC conducts global search, recovery and laboratory operations to identify unaccounted-for Americans from past conflicts. The team is embarked aboard the USNS Grapple (T-ARS 53) during the 30-day recovery mission. (DoD photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Martin L. Carey, U.S. Navy)
