Diving boys in boats off the coast of Martinique.

Diving boys in boats off the coast of Martinique. The photographer is on the deck of a passenger cruise ship looking down on nine boats of varying descriptions containing one, two, three or four men, hoping for coins to be thrown into the water for them to retrieve. One man has already dived in, one is about to enter the water and another is getting ready to jump. The location is unknown but is likely to be off Fort-de-France or Saint Pierre.
