Functioning Chamber
 |
|
 |
These two divers were in the chamber when we
arrived. Neither was walking very well. |
 |
Gary, standing next to Bob, was the first diver
treated by the Puerto Cabezas chamber approximately five years earlier. He
recovered enough to be walking though he complained about constant vertigo.
With 11 children to feed, he returned to diving after a 2 year
hiatus.
In the background, a diver paralyzed from the waist down is
resting after some physical therapy. |

In a nearby ward, this diver was not improving
after many treatments. He's being watched over by his father, grandmother and
oldest son. |

At the Dock

Interesting tight rope sequence. Not clear from
the pictures is that ocean conditions were pretty sloppy; those boats were
being bounced around pretty hard. It took the diver 5 minutes to make his first
move. |

This ship was loaded with refrigerated
containers. Multiple inquiries yielded the same answers: the ship is bound for
Miami. |
