Hyperbaric Support Point of Contact Information (non-emergency)

Generally, military diving operations that involve deploying to a distant site, require that a recompression chamber be identified beforehand and on standby in the event of a diving casualty. Frequently, diving units will transport a Transportable Recompression Chamber System or Standard Navy Double Lock Recompression Chamber System to the location of diving operations. However, occasionally, diving units are unable to transport these recompression chamber systems and must utilize a non-Navy certified chamber in proximity to diving operations. Military diving units should follow unit policies and procedures. Chapter 6 of the Navy Dive Manual includes information on determining the level of chamber needed for a given dive profile. Additional resources are listed below in the event that organic assets are not available in the event of a diving related emergency.
