A person dressed in scuba gear walks across a sandy, arid landscape. Behind them is a distant structure, and the terrain is mostly barren with scattered debris.

When you turn your back on the sea, a fully-equipped diver gives a particularly funny view, as if he were in the middle of a desert.

This is in Egypt, on the shores of the Red Sea.
