Hey Scott yes we did definitely discuss this at ATI! They are in constant contact with scientists all over the world regarding the safety of the lake and since they do it everyday I figure if they are willing to do that, I can do it once, ha ha! Definitely contact them for more scientific explanations and reassurance 😉

I’ve been doing medical mission work in Panajachel for the different Mayan villages for over ten years, and often hear about “oh don’t dive the lake because its contaminated-bacteria” and others who say “oh, its all good!” I’m torn on what to believe. Did your dive master at ATI address this issue? Is it valid etc etc. You turned out ok! ha ha “But did you die”??? Ha Thanks for the any info.

Nothing a little hot tub wouldn’t fix… I definitely suggested one to the team 🙂

I am pretty lucky, I only get seasick very very rarely. When I do though, it’s terrible! I wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone.

The first time i went diving though, i was sea sick i almost threw up all my lungs out. You are luck it did not affect you at all!
