This learning opportunity is designed to provide necessary training to candidates, who may or may not have any relevant diving experience, to be able to operate a recompression chamber safely and effectively.

Implementation of the procedures outlined in this course will ensure safe use of the equipment.

The chamber operator is part of the overall treatment team, which includes the DMO, chamber operator, chamber attendant, assistant operator, and any other supervisory, technical, operational or administrative staff. This person is responsible for operating the chamber, conducting all pre-and post-dive checks, communicating with the chamber attendant, and following instructions from the DMO.

Further details, initial qualification requirements and responsibilities can be found in the Chamber Operator Manual, a resource available later within this section.
