Beneath The Sea --- Part Two

This was taken in 2003. We were on our way to Palua. The plane was a twenty seater and no a/c. 

Information regarding Palau HERE

Hundreds of tiny mushrooms islands around Palua. Quite an adventure I had while in Palau  One of the guys in our group had a hit while diving. A hit means, the person could be suffering from decompression sickness. We were on a live-a- board, two to three hours from a hospital. No helicopters to help out. I was asked to help out on the way to the hospital. It was a moonlit night, and we got to the hospital in 1/2 a hour, we were moving! Traveling in a tiny boat moving at super sonic speed weaving in and out of tiny islands.

  1. I remember when you went here. The pictures are amazing. The guys were lucky you were able to provide some medical assistance while on the way to the hospital. Must be so frightening being so far away from land and having problems. I remember this was a long long plane ride for you. Would you want to go again?

    1. No. I'm not physically strong as I was back them. Then you have the airports to deal with . It's road trips with Max now.

    2. Isn't it amazing how much we change over the years? Things I did back in the day I about faint thinking about doing them again. When you're younger you just do I guess.

      I'm older now and can't deal with the stuff as well as I used to before..........I like my "routine"........and I'm with you-take photos (when Bob isn't home), cook, bake and for me? READ COOKBOOKS.......I'm a happy person. :)
