    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms and helmets with oxygen/breathing masks are positioned at what appears to be an open aircraft door or hatch, likely preparing for or executing a jump. The image is taken from inside the aircraft looking outward, with water spray or precipitation visible. The scene suggests a military airborne or water insertion training exercise.

    A group of military personnel, appearing to be U.S. Marines based on their camouflage uniforms, are participating in a water survival or aquatic training exercise in an outdoor pool. Most participants are submerged to chest level and wearing orange safety helmets, while an instructor in a white helmet appears to be giving directions. The training takes place adjacent to a military-style building under overcast, rainy conditions.
    Two individuals in military camouflage uniforms are submerged underwater during what appears to be a water survival or combat swimmer training exercise. Both wear Pro-Tec helmets — one white and one orange numbered '15' — and are breathing through air hoses or mouthpieces. The underwater setting, safety equipment, and structured positioning suggest a controlled military training environment.
    An underwater photograph showing what appears to be a military water survival or egress training exercise. A person wearing MARPAT (Marine digital camouflage) uniform and tactical gear is submerged and bent forward in a doorframe-like structure, while an instructor wearing a black shirt, dive mask, and Crocs sandals observes nearby. The image captures air bubbles rising to the surface, indicating active movement and exhalation underwater.
    An underwater photograph captures military personnel conducting what appears to be a helicopter underwater egress training (HUET) exercise in a pool facility. A trainee wearing a pink/orange safety helmet and military camouflage uniform is navigating through a submerged metal cage structure, simulating escape from a downed aircraft. Multiple other uniformed personnel are visible assisting or observing the exercise underwater.
    An underwater photograph captures military personnel in camouflage uniforms submerged in a pool, appearing to conduct water survival or egress training. The image is taken from below, showing individuals navigating through a metal cage or frame structure underwater. Bubbles and water turbulence indicate active movement, consistent with a controlled training exercise.
    This image depicts a U.S. Marine Corps Underwater Egress Training exercise taking place inside a submerged simulator. Multiple personnel in military gear and helmets are practicing emergency escape procedures from a simulated aircraft or vehicle cabin underwater. An instructor wearing a black U.S. Marine Corps 'Ditching - Underwater Egress Trainer' shirt is visible supervising the exercise.
    An underwater photograph shows a military personnel in desert camouflage uniform conducting a water survival or egress training exercise. The individual is submerged next to what appears to be a helicopter or aircraft fuselage simulator, wearing an orange safety helmet and an inflatable life vest. Air bubbles are visible around the person, indicating active exhalation underwater.
    An underwater photograph taken in a training pool shows a scuba diver in a black wetsuit with yellow fins assisting a second person who is exiting or entering through a window or hatch of a submerged simulated aircraft or vehicle fuselage. The scene appears to be a military or emergency survival training exercise, likely helicopter underwater escape training (HUET). Air bubbles are visible rising from the diver's regulator toward the surface.
    An individual wearing military camouflage uniform and an orange Pro-Tec helmet marked '51' is submerged underwater, appearing to exit or navigate through a hatch or window opening of a simulated vehicle or aircraft fuselage. The scene is consistent with Underwater Egress Training (UWET), a military survival exercise where personnel practice escaping from submerged vehicles. The image is taken from an underwater perspective, showing air bubbles rising around the subject.
    An underwater photograph taken inside a large pool showing a submersible or underwater habitat module being tested or deployed. A scuba diver is visible to the right, observing or monitoring the vessel. Air bubbles are escaping from the top of the structure, suggesting active pressurization or flooding procedures.
    A military or aviation survival training exercise is taking place in an outdoor pool facility. A trainee wearing a red helmet marked '15' and an inflated yellow life preserver is floating in the water, while a submerged or partially inverted helicopter/aircraft fuselage simulator is visible in the background. Multiple other trainees in matching red helmets observe from the sides of the pool.
    Military personnel, appearing to be U.S. Marines based on their camouflage uniforms, are conducting underwater egress or helicopter dunker training in a pool facility. The photo is taken from an underwater perspective, showing one Marine in the foreground gripping a bar while exiting a submerged simulated aircraft fuselage, with additional personnel visible underwater in the background. This type of training prepares service members to escape from submerged aircraft or vehicles.
    The image shows personnel inside what appears to be a submerged or partially flooded aircraft/helicopter cabin, likely during an underwater egress training exercise conducted in a pool or controlled water environment. The interior is illuminated by bright blue light from the water outside the open door/hatch. At least three individuals are visible, with one in civilian dive attire and others in military uniforms and helmets.
    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms and helmets with oxygen/breathing masks are positioned at what appears to be an open aircraft door or hatch, likely preparing for or executing a jump. The image is taken from inside the aircraft looking outward, with water spray or precipitation visible. The scene suggests a military airborne or water insertion training exercise.
