The first of the crewmembers is winched up to the recovery helicopter while the other two wait in the raft with two Navy divers. It is probably Jack Schmitt in the cage because we can see the back Ron Evans's balding head in the raft and, most likely, Gene Cernan would be the last to be winched up.
