ALDive’s “D-Unit” squad was
instrumental in the setting up of the island’s first
recompression chamber housed and managed by the Princess
Margaret Hospital. The project was funded by the European
union through the Dominica Ministry of Tourism’s Eco-Tourism
Development program. The marine component of this program
was managed by Mr. Arun “Izzy” Madisetti. We also underwent
training as technicians and in fact because ALDive is part
of the maintenance team we are granted special access to the
chamber.
We NEVER wish
divers to be treated in this Dominica Chamber. And, so far,
there have only been three that have needed treatment
(These were NOT diving with ALDive!)
All fully recovered; the
system has proved itself!
The Dominica
Watersports Association along with Dr. Armour and the
Dominica Ministry of Health are in the process of
registering the chamber with D.A.N.
The chamber training has indeed made ALDive diving profiles
safer.
We won’t help you get a “bend” but if you do, we may help
mend you……..remember……….
1. Plan your dives and dive your plan.
2. Slowly ascend from every dive with safety stops
3. Stay hydrated
4. Dive with ALDive
