    Navy divers assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, Company 4, prepare to be lowered into the water as they conduct an underwater recovery operation in the Mediterranean Sea in search of an unaccounted-for World War II service member. 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.

    Two scuba divers are working underwater near a large circular metal structure, with one diver in the foreground wearing a distinctive yellow helmet and black dry suit with yellow and red hoses. A cloud of sediment or disturbed material obscures the center of the circular structure, suggesting active excavation or inspection work. The image appears to document a professional underwater operation, possibly archaeological, engineering, or salvage work.
    Two scuba divers are working underwater near what appears to be a submerged structure or wreck site. The foreground diver is wearing a professional full-face diving helmet with yellow accents and appears to be conducting work near the seafloor, which is stirred up with sediment. A second diver is visible in the background to the right, with exhaust bubbles rising toward the surface.
    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.
