that, at the request of the other divers, he was taken to the Hospital of Puerto Lempira.

He contended that he stayed on the vessel without any type of assistance until he was taken to a medical center, where he was forbidden to dive because of his severe situation. Mr. Robles indicated that he received no compensation for his accidents. He contended that he has kidney pains and dizziness, that in one ear he does not hear well, that he does not work as a result of which his children support him, and that he has to pay for his medicines although oftentimes he cannot pay for them for lack of money.158 14.
