HISTORY
Subaquatics of Belize Ltd. opened its doors to the diving community of Belize in 1989. It started its operations with about 8 dive shops, and now it has a total of 40 affiliated dive shops, which represent about 95% of the total dive activity of Belize.
It was a mutual effort with the dive shop operators and the SSS Recompression Chamber Network of continued progress. Today, the chamber has treated over 345 dive injuries, which could have been dead or permanently paralyzed if the chamber did not exist.
These include local and international tourists and a few employees of the various dive operations. With the cooperation of the dive shops and the efforts of Worldwide SSS Recompression Chamber Network, Subaquatics of Belize Ltd. (SSSB) has been improving its standards of service to the dive community of Belize. It is the only Recompression chamber in the region.
SSSB is a clinic specializing in Subaquatic Medicine, it is a Divers Alert Network (DAN) referral center and Platinum DAN sponsor; it forms part of the Undersea Hyperbaric Medical Society
(UHMS).
