These photographs were from 1st Force Recon Dive Team under team leader and Dive Officer, Capt. F.J. Vogel. Tasked to conduct combat diving operations in suport of OPERATION HUE CITY to determine the presence and location of ememy explosive charges rigged on eight different bridges. The team consisted of 1 officer, 7 enlisted marines and 1 USN Corpsman, leaving from Phu Bai via convoy on 24Feb and returning 26 Feb 1968. The one thing I remember the most was the water was damn cold diving on the Perfume River bridge (aka White Bridge) on Feb. 24th but I did seem to "warm up" with the incoming enemy small arms and mortar fire.
