Across a lagoon, 1 1/2
hour's boat ride from Puerto Lempira, there's the small community of Cauquira.
This is where Sub Ocean Safety installed one of its chambers. Working with a
budget of $4700, Bob dumped a pressurized hyperbaric chamber over the side of a
ship (and, thereby, learned that chambers do float), floated it into the lagoon
across a sand bar that blocked the ship and, with the help of 50 or 60 Moskito
Indians, dragged it by rope across tidal flats and onto the clinic's land.

building behind and to the right of the clinic is the Diver's Clinic building
where the chamber is house. |
