The
Hyperbaric Chamber in
Barbados.
This
facility is situated
at
The
Barbados Defence
Force Headquarters

Fort, The
Garrison
St.
Michael, Barbados
Emergency
Number: 246
4365483
This
facility has been
operating since 1985
We are a
DAN referral
centre.
Most of our
reputable
Dive Operations here check
with us with any medical suspicions or positive answers on the Pre-Dive
Form. We find this works well, as potential divers are reassured or
given understanding of why they should not risk a Chamber Excursion as
part of their vacation itinery - especially those who have been cleared
to dive by their Medical Attendant at home who obviously has no
hyperbaric experience!
There are
five Hyperbaric
Physicians on our roster. All have attended
Fitness to Dive Courses as well as Treatment training.
I have
attended, DAN,
Bove, Elliot, HSE, UHMS and
am a current Member of UHMS and EUBS. Enquiries can be directed to me:
