Chamber Visit
 |
Have you ever wondered what a Hyperbaric Chamber looks like, or what the signs and symptoms of Decompression Sickness (DCS) or Decompression Illness (DCI) is. Well these questions can be answered along with many more on our trip to the hyperbaric facility at Whipps Cross hospital. We have booked a seminar with a hyperbaric supervisor who will explain all about the facility and DCI, DSC and a number of other pressure related illnesses. |
The seminar will begin at 7:00pm (to be confirmed) at the Hyperbaric facility in Whipps Cross Hospital, there will be an overview and the chance to have a look around the chamber and maybe a dry dive.
Further Information about the facility can be found at
London Hyperbaric Chamber
