I SPY

So now you can see why we need divers going down 2 times a day to keep the intakes clean or else we lose air conditioning and power -mission critical. It is quite a bad situation with all the trash that gets put in the water along with the crazy currents. We are currently frantically looking for a full time diver. Right now we only have a handful of divers that volunteer and 3 of them happen to be nurses which we also need to work full time on the ward...so Timo and Dan have been doing both. Many people have been putting in lots of extra time and effort. The diving conditions are less than ideal and down right scary at times with visability about 1 foot! Keep them in your prayers!

If you look closely you can see Olly...one of my favorite mates whose family is my family on the ship. I believe the other one pictured is Dan...one of our ICU nurses. It does not always look that bad in the water, but down below always seems to be quite dark and trashy.

One of my friends who was diving said that as he surfaced once he realized the sewage tank was getting emptied......onto him. MMM. Those divers are amazing..and pretty miraculous they are all still healthy more or less.
