Hyperbaric Therapy for Divers: Safe and Effective Treatment

Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy offers numerous benefits for divers, especially those who have experienced decompression problems.

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has two main effects that are crucial for divers:

Reduction of Nitrogen Bubbles: Increasing the pressure in the hyperbaric chamber reduces the size of nitrogen bubbles in the body. This facilitates their dissolution and subsequent expulsion from the body, reducing the risk of serious complications.
Accelerated Nitrogen Elimination: Breathing pure oxygen inside the hyperbaric chamber increases the nitrogen gradient between tissues and lungs. Inhaling only oxygen, without the nitrogen present in normal air, creates a higher concentration of nitrogen in the body than outside, accelerating its elimination through osmosis.

Benefits for Divers

Quick Recovery: Significantly reduces recovery time after a diving accident.
Improves Circulation: Increases oxygenation in damaged tissues, improving blood circulation.
Reduction of Complications: Decreases the size and number of nitrogen bubbles, reducing the risk of decompression sickness.

Advanced Equipment and Qualified Staff

Our hyperbaric chamber is the most advanced in the Mexican Caribbean and Central America, capable of reaching a pressure of up to 6 ATA. The treatment is supervised by Dr. Darío Gómez, a specialist with advanced studies in Hyperbaric and Diving Medicine in Mexico, the United States, and Australia. The chamber can accommodate up to 14 patients simultaneously.
