A few years ago, I was invited to participate in the filming of a ScubaWorld USA TV segment. The entire trip was exciting but unusual almost beyond belief.
We left Houston for the island of Cayos Cochinos, Honduras. Our flight into La Ceiba was uneventful until we exited the plane. There were armed soldiers stationed everywhere. They were all carrying automatic weapons and did not look to be older than a teenager.
We were greeted by dozens of armed military personnel. Non-Hondurans were escorted into a small waiting room that was standing room only. We had no couches, benches, or chairs to sit on and none were visible in the entire area. There was a large window between us and the native Hondurans. The soldiers did not allow any intermingling or communication between them or us.
