Divers in rowing boats in Carlisle Bay, Bridgetown, Barbados
Divers in ten small double-ended rowing boats in Carlisle Bay, Bridgetown, Barbados. The divers are waiting for tourists to throw coins into the water for them to retrieve. The photographer is looking down from the deck of a passenger cruise ship at anchor in the bay. A rowing boat with a transom stern is being sculled away from the ship and a larger double ended, multi-oared boat with a single mast is on the right. Three men in this boat are working at the rigging on the mast, possibly preparing to hoist the sail.
