    A professional diver in full hard-hat diving gear is conducting an underwater archaeological or salvage excavation on a submerged structure or wreck site. The diver is using a water dredge (suction hose) to remove sediment from encrusted surfaces, a standard technique in underwater archaeology. The water is clear and teal-colored, providing good visibility of the work site.

    Naval Deep Sea Divers of Mobile Diving Salvage Unit One temporarily attached to Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, conduct underwater recovery of a World War Two aerial crash site to recuperate possible remains of fallen service members. JPAC achieves the fullest possible accounting of all Americans missing as a result of the nation's past conflicts.

    A split-level underwater/above-water photograph showing a fully equipped hard-hat (surface-supplied) diver descending a ladder from a rusted vessel into the water. Several support personnel in civilian and military-style clothing stand on the deck observing and assisting. The wide-angle fisheye lens captures both the above-surface activity and the submerged hull of the vessel simultaneously.
    A professional diver in full hard-hat diving gear is conducting an underwater archaeological or salvage excavation on a submerged structure or wreck site. The diver is using a water dredge (suction hose) to remove sediment from encrusted surfaces, a standard technique in underwater archaeology. The water is clear and teal-colored, providing good visibility of the work site.
    An underwater diver wearing a full-face mask with an orange visor is working at what appears to be a submerged wreck or debris site. The diver is holding a white plastic laundry basket containing encrusted or biological material, with additional white baskets visible nearby. The scene suggests an archaeological recovery, marine cleanup, or scientific collection operation.
    A professional diver wearing a yellow hard hat diving helmet is inspecting a heavily corroded and encrusted underwater shipwreck. The wreck shows significant rust, marine growth, and structural deterioration, suggesting it has been submerged for an extended period. The diver appears to be conducting a close-up technical inspection or salvage operation of specific wreck components.
    A professional diver is photographed underwater wearing a full-face diving helmet with yellow and black coloring, equipped with multiple attachments including a light and communication equipment. The diver is surrounded by dark, teal-green water with light filtering from the surface above. A rope or guideline is visible running along the right side of the frame, and an umbilical hose extends to the left.
    A professional diver is photographed underwater in low-light conditions, wearing a full hard-hat diving helmet with a yellow and chrome finish. The diver is holding onto a thick white rope/line with one gloved hand while gripping a red-wrapped tool or instrument in the other. The image captures a commercial or military diving operation in dark, deep water.
    A scuba diver in military-style camouflage wetsuit and yellow helmet is examining a heavily encrusted object on the seafloor. The object appears to be a corroded, marine-growth-covered artifact, possibly an unexploded ordnance, mine, or historical relic. The setting is an underwater environment with sandy sediment and low ambient light.
    An underwater archaeologist or diver is using a water dredge (suction hose) to excavate sediment from a submerged site surrounded by concretion-encrusted rock or wreck material. The diver is equipped with a full diving kit including a yellow helmet, dry suit, and blue gloves, and is working within a marked grid system indicated by yellow guide lines. Sediment clouds are visible being disturbed near the excavation point, consistent with active underwater archaeological fieldwork.
    An underwater photograph showing a scuba diver in full dark wetsuit and diving equipment swimming horizontally beneath the surface. The diver is connected to a yellow-green tether/line and is surrounded by rising air bubbles. The image was taken in low-visibility, teal-tinted water with another diver or structure faintly visible in the background.
    An underwater photograph showing two scuba divers working in murky, teal-green water. The foreground diver appears to be actively working with ropes and lines attached to a large submerged structure or object, with visible exhaust bubbles rising from their regulator. A second diver is visible in the background, also equipped with diving gear.
    An underwater diver in full diving gear is working at depth, manipulating rigging hardware including a large carabiner or shackle attached to ropes and lines. The diver appears to be performing a technical underwater task, possibly rigging or salvage work, near what appears to be a submerged structure or seafloor. Exhaust bubbles rise toward the surface, and the water has a blue-green tint with moderate visibility.
    A close-up photograph of a person wearing a professional deep-sea or commercial diving helmet with a large circular viewport. The helmet features chrome/silver metalwork, a yellow lower section, and blue interior padding, with condensation visible on the visor. The setting appears to be a surface deck or staging area, with other people and equipment visible in the background.
    An underwater photograph showing a scuba diver positioned behind an American flag that has been mounted on a heavily corroded and encrusted anchor or wreck structure on the seafloor. The flag billows in the underwater current, displaying its red, white, and blue stripes and star field clearly. The diver is equipped with a dive light, illuminating the scene against the teal-green ambient water.
    A scuba diver in full black wetsuit and diving mask with an illuminated headlamp is positioned underwater near a heavily corroded and marine-encrusted structural remnant, likely a shipwreck. An American flag is attached to or draped over the corroded object, billowing in the underwater current. The scene appears to be a commemorative or memorial dive at a wreck site.
    An underwater diver is captured mid-activity near the seafloor in murky, teal-tinted water. The diver is holding a large flexible hose or suction pipe, suggesting an excavation or dredging operation. Sediment clouds surround the diver, reducing visibility and indicating active disturbance of the seabed.
    A U.S. Navy enlisted sailor is being assisted with diving equipment, specifically having a dive helmet or collar assembly positioned near his head. He is wearing a dark navy blue uniform with a Petty Officer rank insignia visible on his chest. Another person in the background, also in Navy uniform, appears to be helping with the equipment preparation.
