13 Aug 2006 - Kwaj Wreck Diving Video: I'm not yet sure where I'm going to put this on the site, but I thought this would be a good starting point. Click the link to see information on, and how to buy, "The Silent Wrecks of Kwajalein Atoll", filmed in 2000.
I'm finally building back up enough email addresses to start a distribution list. That should also light a fire under my butt to get the site redesigned. LOL Please subscribe to the upcoming newsletter. Mahalo and yokwe.....Bob
Kwaj-Net is a dedication to my stay on Kwajalein
Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands (8/1991 - 8/1993). I have maintained Kwaj-Net since 1994, during which time I have experienced few regrets
and many great rewards. The Kwaj experience, in itself,
cannot be explained unless you have lived it. The friendships
that are kindled and the times that are spent get indelibly etched
in the memories of all who have come and gone.
Kwaj-Net
lends many advantages:
Finding Lost Friends
Making New Friends
Finding Information about Kwaj (For Newcomers)
Collaborating
with Kwaj folks; Past, Present and Future
Sharing Unforgettable Experiences
I spent two
wonderful years on Kwaj doing automation and finance work in the
small, yet busy Post Office located on the largest of the islands
in the atoll. Although I am no longer on-island, I miss it
dearly. The friendships, the people, the work, the environment,
all make me long for returning. I wouldn't give up my two years on Kwaj for anything. My only regret is not learning how to scuba. I did do some snorkling with good friends though.
A Little Bit About Kwaj...
Sunshine
and breezes abound year around with temps varying 77-90° F, night
and day respectively. There is a tolerable wet season where drenching
forecasts of long periods of continuous heavy rain are
often the norm. There is a wide range of land and water sports for
kids and adults.
The Marshallese
are a very nice people. The majority of those work on Kwaj, but
live on a tiny island called Ebeye which is a very short boat ride
from Kwaj. They perform various jobs to support the logistics of
Kwaj life (e.g. construction, janitorial, electrical, etc.) Marshallese
are rarely in a hurry.....unless they are about to miss the
boat back to Ebeye. LOL.....and DON'T
'BORROW' MY BIKE! ;-)

If you are a past, present or future Kwajer, Kwajite, Kwajling,
