Navy SEALs with rebreathers

With all the photos of Navy SEALs in desert camouflage from Iraq and Afghanistan, one easily forgets the wet core mission of these US Marine Special Operation Forces: "Sea" is, after all, the first word in the abbreviation for SEAL. Here is a SEAL photo in Dive Gear, likely taken before 1997. The men in wetsuits are wearing a closed-circuit breathing apparatus, allowing combat divers to dive without bubbles, the Dräger LAR V - now replaced by the successor models LAR VI and VII. The second from the left also has a navigation board in his hand.
