Propeller cage
The diver’s barefoot lurching foot-naked on the ocean’s floor sends bubbles surface bound. The boat is in pursuit. Leading the umbilical line as it dances right left behind forward across around through the depths and across the surface of the ocean it trails the sitings and the diver’s pursuit of golden pastures . Death can come in many forms and severing the line is a critical one. The propeller is a real threat.
At least the cage is there covering it and the line is safe.
2. Sharks mouth
In the late 19th century multiple diving methods were used including free diving naked.
The year is 1888 and a diver is heading to the ocean floor. The engraved diving stone with its cross is his steering device leading him right and left, braking at the necessary moment. Face to face a shark attempts to maul him taking the stone and part of his body into its mouth.
The stone was not to the liking of the animal so stone and body are regurgitated and together they climb back to the now rather surface.
A miracle indeed.
