Diving for Deadly Bombs in Cambodia

A devastating legacy of Cambodia's brutal civil war are the bombs that still lie at the bottom of the country's waterways. They kill and maim unsuspecting fishermen each year. A new US-funded programme trains Cambodians -- some of whom have never swum before -- to dive in zero visibility water to retrieve unexploded ordnance. Phnom Penh-based photographer Charles Fox has been documenting this remarkable programme.
