Inflated lifting bags are seen attached to a ghost fishing net as volunteer divers of the environmental group Ghost Diving work near the WWII wreck of the HMS Perseus, off the island of Kefalonia, Greece, July 23, 2020. Divers removed half a tonne of abandoned fishing gear covering a British submarine that sank off the Greek island of Kefalonia in 1941 as well as other wrecks in an effort to protect the area's loggerhead sea turtles, dolphins and monk seals.
