U.S. Army dive supervisors from the 86th Engineer Dive Detachment perform final equipment inspections on two Soldiers preparing to dive up to 190 feet to retrieve derelict fishing nets, crab pots and other manmade hazards to marine life on the bottom of the Puget Sound near Blaine Washington, July 17, 2023. The Soldiers wear a stainless steel dive helmet with lines providing air and pure oxygen, and wetsuits that are constantly pumped with hot water to combat the cold ocean temperatures. The dive helmet carries voice communications equipment, lights and a camera that provides a live feed to the team on the ship. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Chandler Coats)
