Some images that are more dominant than others are the diver, the enormous ocean, and the wreck and sunken treasure. All of these images do recur many times through the poem. They do not really change, but each one was just in a large part of the poem.
The main images that recur are the diver, ocean, and wreck. Rich wrote as if he or she was the diver. He or she wrote about the materials such as the equipment he or she started to put on and the boat such as the diving gear and the ladder to go into the ocean.
As the diver goes into the ocean he or she talks about how mysterious and vast the ocean is. He or she explains step by step how it feels to be in the ocean and mysterious is it to him. As the diver goes deeper into the ocean, he or she becomes more startled by the mystic and enigmatic ocean because he or she has never been through this experience and because of the feeling of the ocean and its size. The diver soon gets used to the diving, but almost forgets why he or she even came. As the diver finally reaches the wreck, he or she explains how he or she finally reaches what he or she came for. The wreck is described as this mystifying and forgotten treasure.
I think that this is an interpretation of any explorer and the diver can be represented as anyone trying something new. The scuba gear can be any gear for the certain circumstances of the exploration. The ladder is some type of passage way or gateway to the unknown. The Ocean is represented as the unknown and the journey to the end point. The wreck is the endpoint or some type of treasure.
