Sharm Hyperbaric Doctors and staff, thank the divers of Elite Diving for their Genorous donations and continued support.

​​Almost everyone who dives with Elite Diving here in Sharm, makes a voluntary donation to the Sharm Hyperbaric chamber, which helps with the maintenance and running of the facility, so it’s always ready and operational to receive any diving emergencies.

We want to stress, that this is no substitution for Sport Diving Insurance, as decompression treatment can be in the thousands of US Dollars for just one case. So make sure you have adequate insurance cover for hyperbaric treatment in the event of a diving accident. 

Sharm Hyperbaric chamber, is the only facility for decompression treatment in the whole of Sinai, giving us great peace of mind that here in Sharm, we have such a facility on our door step, and two of the finest Hyperbaric doctors who are world renowned for their knowledge and experience of  treating diving emergencies.

The photo above shows G, Elite Diving’s manager, passing the donation on to Dr Ahmed, who along with Dr Adle, are the resident Hyperbaric Doctors that treats the divers if they need to visit the chamber.

The hyperbaric chamber (more commonly known as the Dive Chamber), is used by divers who have experienced a pressure-related injury during their dive, helping to safely treat decompression sickness, also known as "the bends".

There are other staff involved in the running and maintaining the facility, and the whole Dive Chamber team would like to thank the divers of Elite Diving for their contribution this year of 3,490 Euros or 4,000 USD.
