About
A Little about myself
| I was born in Bakersfield, Ca. However I grew up in Southern Africa. I was named after John Chilembwe. I completed my ‘O’ level exams when I was 16 years old and returned to the United States to get an American High School diploma. After graduation I joined the U.S. Coast Guard and spent four years doing search and rescue on the Northern California coast. Since then I have worked as a commercial diver doing underwater construction on oil rigs, inspection of drinking water reservoirs and other underwater tasks. I’ve also worked as an EMT, a security guard and currently as a Medical Assistant and Allergy Technician. |
I first wrote a web page in 1995. That was the start of CaptNemo’s home- a single page composed of a mess of links and graphics. It evolved to My old page and then into what is today- my domain name at

Like Captain Nemo’s voyage’s into the sea, we drift the endless currents of the internet.
Where will we surface next? Only the Captain truly knows.Dive in with Captain Nemo.

Hi
I am going to Guatemala in 1 week, and really want to visit the Rio Oqueba caves that you did. Unfortunately, the map you have does not identify exactly the entrance to the caves, and none of the locals I have spoken to seem to know it either.
Please please could you guide me to the caves!!

We only visited the one cave on the Oqueba river and I couldn’t tell you how
to get there- it was a fairly remote area, dirt road so you’d need a good
vehicle and guide to get there. Our trip was led by Ric Finch- his tour
company is http://www.rutahsa.com/
So perhaps he can give you more info. You’ll definetly need good vertical
equipment and skills- there are several drops to rig and the rigging point
for the last one is fairly far back from the falls so you have to take great
care not to get swept over. I actually preferred Candelaria a much easier
cave with fantastic scenery, but it was great that we got to visit several
caves while in Guatemala.
Hope your trip goes well.
