Able Seaman Peter Morris, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Coast Guard and Ordinary Seaman Todd Nicholas, Antigua and Barbuda Defense Force Coast Guard, practice how to team dive with a line on June 3 here. The necklace search technique allows a team of divers to inspect a ship's hull faster than any other method and keeps them in continuous contact while underwater because they all carry part of the line. Members of several maritime services from 11 participating Caribbean nations practice their dive techniques using the hull of the U.S. Army Vessel (USAV) New Orleans, docked in Antigua as part of Tradwinds 2014. Tradewinds is a joint, combined, exercise conducted in conjunction with partner nations to enhance the collective abilities of defense forces and constabularies to counter transnational organized crime and to conduct humanitarian/disaster relief operations.
