Description

A column of water rises above a river tributary as a Vietcong (VC) obstruction is destroyed. RAN members of Clearance Diving Team 3 (CDT 3) working with US Navy and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) personnel routinely removed or destroyed submerged bridges, anti-ship mines and regularly came under enemy fire during their demolition work.
