Hey y'all,
So I am sitting around after dinner the other night and hear that there is this guy at the hotel who is a former commercial rig diver and is in Nicaragua installing recompression chambers. We talk for awhile and he lays his story on me. The gist of it involves taking members of the indigenous Miskito Indian tribe, strapping tanks on their backs and sending them on multiple deep drops with no training. The result is an epedemic of bent men. Towns filled with guys paralyzed from the waist down. Lobster Diver Widow's associations with over 1000 members. Bob gets commercial dive operators to donate old chambers and then faces stiff resistance from the guys who own the lobster operations in getting them installed.

Send him a buck.
Deepfish out.
