Why Recompression Chamber Awareness?
 

Dry diving is exactly as it sounds.

A hyperbaric chamber is the perfect environment to test a diver's ability at depth, but in the safe, water-free environment that it offers.

DCI often results from a diver's inability to handle nitrogen narcosis. So if a diver, for the first time, does experience that surreal feeling they can panic and risk DCI.

A dry dive can prepare a diver mentally for what can happen underwater.

A dry dive is also a great opportunity for technical divers to test their computers or Dive Cameras.

This course is conducted at the London Diving Chamber, St. Johns Wood, London.

• This is where a diver descends in a dry chamber to 50 metres depth, breathing air.
• The diver will experience nitrogen narcosis
• It is safer to experience this for the first time in a dry clinical setting, to see how you will react when you do it for real in the open water
• The chamber can accommodate up to 6 dry divers
• Any kit or computer can be tested at the same time
• Fit to dive medical certification will need to be seen if there are any medical issues with the diver
• If the diver has not got certification, it can be done at LDC before the dry dive, with notice
