Staffed by experienced and highly motivated supervisors, our facility has unrivalled experience in treating both scuba diving accidents and commercial diving accidents such as Decompression sickness, otherwise known as  (DCI) or the Bends. Other conditions we treat at our London Hyperbaric Chamber include arterial gas embolism, late presentations of DCI and a number of clinical conditions requiring Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

With the increased complexity of technical diving, Nitrox diving, decompression procedures, decompression tables and the use of different diving gases, the need for expert advice in recognizing the signs and symptoms of diving accidents has never been greater. The staff at our recompression chamber are committed to diving research and educational activities such as Dry diving and numerous courses and workshops.

In the event that you feel that you or one of your buddies may have symptoms of decompression sickness or would like some professional advice, please call 07740 251 635 to contact one of our diving emergency specialists.
