James Delgado, a maritime archaeologist and explorer, stands on a research vessel with a deep blue ocean and distant coastline in the background. He is wearing a black shirt, a blue unbuttoned overshirt, and black pants, smiling as he holds onto an orange submersible hatch. The sky is partly cloudy, and the water reflects the sunlight, creating a vivid maritime setting.
