Bob Pickering in black wetsuit with yellow shoulder detail looks at camera from ladder as he gets ready to dive with the Miller Dunn "Divinhood" Style 3 which hangs just behind him. Three men look on (employee at left, possibly tourists at right). Pickering stated that this diving helmet was out of date, but that part of Marineland's charm was its nod to its own history when this was top technology.
