Standards & safety

One standard, everywhere.

Procedures, maintenance, equipment, training, and staffing are governed by shared policy, so the quality of care doesn't change with the coastline.

Chamber safety

Where the standard reaches you.

One rulebook governs the network: procedures, maintenance, equipment and staffing. These are the two places you meet it.

The chamber network

Every facility in the network runs to the same procedures and the same staffing standard. Find the one nearest to where you dive, with its address and contact details.

Emergency first aid

Treated early, the chance of full recovery from decompression illness is high. Learn the signs, and the first-aid steps in the order they must be done.

Maintenance & operations

Governed by policy, not local habit.

Procedures, maintenance, upgrades and staffing levels across the network are governed by SSS policy.

Governed by shared policy

Procedures, maintenance, upgrades, training and staffing sit under one rulebook - the same one on every coast.

Response-ready by design

Staff on standby for call-out; readiness is treated as a fixed cost of membership, not an optional extra.

The recompression chamber at the SSS Phuket facility in Thailand. A stainless-steel operator console stands in front of the white multiplace chamber, carrying depth gauges, gas flow meters, valves and communication handsets, with a monitor above it. Ear defenders and a sign reading "danger, wear ear protection" hang on the wall beside it.

Medical & staffing standard

The people behind the pressure.

Physician

Specialist in hyperbaric and diving medicine, responsible for directing treatment, determining pressure protocols, and overseeing patient care.

Chamber Operator

Technician trained in hyperbaric chamber operation, responsible for pressurization, gas management, and safety monitoring throughout treatment.

Inside Tender

Trained attendant who accompanies the patient inside the chamber, providing direct care and monitoring throughout treatment under pressure.

The console in this photo primarily displays the depth gauges our operators use to monitor pressure in each chamber compartment and in the BIBS gas supply, both in real time, following the precise treatment profile for every session. Consoles vary across our different chamber models.

The network effect

The standard is what the network shares.

Every site in the network runs to the same procedures, maintenance policy and staffing standard. A diver treated at one chamber meets the care they would meet at any other.
