  • 14 OCTOBER 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  A spotter bails water out his boat while the diver he works with is on the bottom of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Divers work in two man teams on small boats in the Chao Phraya River. One person stays in the boat while the diver scours the river bottom for anything that can be salvaged and resold. The divers usually work close to shore because the center of the river is a busy commercial waterway with passenger boats and commercial freight barges passing up and down the river all day long. The Chao Phraya is a dangerous river to dive in. It's deep, has large tidal fluctuations, is fast flowing and badly polluted. The divers make money only when they sell something.
