Find a Hyperbaric Chamber in the Caribbean
 | Find a Hyperbaric Chamber in the Caribbean as close as possible to where you intend to dive. For divers in the Caribbean even when on vacation can get into difficulty.At these moments it is important to get timely assistance at that critical time. Some scuba divers may not get the required treatment at a regular emergency room of a hospital or a clinic. |
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is usually required to treat pressure related incidents. Since divers in the Caribbean go on recreational underwater adventures in the day and even at night, a 24 hour facility is needed.
