But the Florida-based crew of Aqua Quest International isn't feeling that way at all.
Stuck at this Honduras jail after authorities accused them of gun smuggling.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) AQUA QUEST VESSEL CAPTAIN, ROBERT MAYNE JR. SAYING:
"We´re sitting here now, 33 days in prison for doing nothing wrong, for coming to the country of Honduras, being invited by government officials, we came here to help people and we're being treated like animals in a cage, when we came to help the country."
The company says they had a contract to do local salvage work.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) AQUA QUEST VESSEL CAPTAIN, ROBERT MAYNE JR. SAYING:
"We always carry on board my vessel arms for protection against piracy. It's legal, it´s allowed and it´s expected. For me as a captain, if I don't do that, it´s dereliction of my duty."
