DDRC Hyperbaric Chamber Visit
We are still in the process of confirming this trip and finding a suitable date with DDRC. We are hoping to get a Wednesday in November or January. All the following details are subject to change.
DDRC Healthcare is a specialist diving medicine centre in Plymouth. In the case of diving emergencies, this is likely the first port of call in the southwest. They also provide diving medical assessments, offer advice and educate on diving medicine. UBUC members have used this facility in the past and always found the staff helpful and reassuring. By visiting DDRC, you will gain insight into diving medicine, the effects of nitrogen narcosis on you, and what happens if you ever need to use a hyperbaric chamber.
On the day, there will be a talk, tour and dry dive. A dry dive is where a group is put in their hyperbaric chamber and pressurised down to a simulated depth of 40m. You'll remain at this depth for a few minutes before being brought back up slowly and safely. During this experience, you'll (most likely) experience nitrogen narcosis.
As DDRC is an active medical centre, it is unlikely but possible that emergency patients will cause a rescheduling of our dry-dive on the day. This could delay the day or mean our dry drive is rescheduled to another day. Be prepared that the schedule on the day could change without notice and be available for the entire day. In the event of a rescheduling, no refunds will be permitted. As we can only book the hyperbaric chamber in blocks of 8 we need a group of 8 to do this. If fewer than 8 people book then this trip will not be able to go ahead.
You must have a current BSAC and UBUC membership, and be medically fit to dive to join this trip. You do NOT have to be a qualified diver, but you should be confident in clearing your ears. Trainees are welcome to join this trip. To be medically fit to dive, you can either answer 'no' to all the questions on this form or have completed a medical exam with a diving doctor. You must also read and accept this disclaimer from DDRC.
The cost of this trip is £40 (TBC) plus any travel expenses. We will take payment of the £40 as soon as a group of 8 or more has signed up. Travel expenses will be calculated after the trip. Spaces will be allocated on a first come first serve basis with some places reserved for drivers.
