As green season has started and you are finding you have some spare time on you hand why not call in for a Chamber orientation we are more than happy to show you around and explain what we do. If you have a group of friend then we can also arrange a dry dive so you can experience what a chamber treatment is like and take away some of the fears and misunderstanding.

IT WON’T HAPPEN TO ME

We all like to think DCI is not real or not that serious as most of the potential case we see as dive pros are on the milder side and may clear up on there own. However we are seeing increased cases of bad advice and incorrect first aid given, which often leads to worse outcomes for our patients. This is why we would like to share real life cases, their symptoms, first aid treatment and chamber treatments and how they recovered with correct and wrong treatment. While we do not have all the answers to DCI we can share our knowledge with you so you can give the rigth advice to your divers and identify the best first aid treatment for them.
If this is something of interest to you please let me know and I can arrange a meeting where we can share our knowledge and experience on this topic..

The Right To Refuse Service.
Some divers spend thousands of dollars on dive trips and eagerly look forward to them for months or years. Too often, however, they arrive unprepared or unfit to dive. Dive professionals assume personal risks when they lead divers underwater, and they are trained to deny service to divers who might compromise their own safety or the safety of others. Denying service to a paying customer can be difficult, especially if the customer is outraged or the business owner is more concerned about revenue than safety.

Common DCS risk factors include:
🏃🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Workload: Any exercise, especially involving high joint forces (such as running), should be avoided as long as possible after a dive.
🥵 Thermal stress: During your descent and bottom phase, a cool or thermoneutral state will minimise your inert gas uptake.
⭕ Breathing gas: The particular breathing gas mixture you use, and how you use it, can play a role in the development of DCS.
🫶 Patent foramen ovale (PFO): This is a congenital medical condition characterized by an opening between the left and right atriums of the heart. A large PFO may increase the risk of DCS in divers who develop significant bubble loads.
💧Hydration: Sound hydration isimportant for good health, in general and in diving, but your dive profile, thermal stress, and exertion level are far more important risk factors for DCS.
4️⃣5️⃣ Age: Advancing age is sometimes thought to increase DCS risk; however, rather than increasing
susceptibility to DCS, age may instead lower recovery rates after DCS hits.
