Low-visibility wreck work: encrusted structure in the foreground, a diver just behind, a torch burning the lower edge and bubbles vanishing into green haze. Wreck, gear, torch-lit growth and water each need different treatment.

FiveMeters restoration of Diver on the Eastern Ark Rock wreck: Encrusted wreck growth and diver gear separate from muted yellow-green low-visibility water.

What FiveMeters recovered

Black and blue gear separate from the water; pale encrusting growth and brown-ochre texture return to the wreck; surrounding water settles to muted yellow-green after a cooler finishing pass.

Still visible

The torch hotspot is clipped; the diver stays softened by intervening water. Suspended particles remain; fine structure lost in dark wreck and haze was not present to recover.
