Chamber Dive

23/04/2008 - 6:00pm

Come and see what it is like to dive to a depth of 50mtrs, but remain Dry!

The purpose is to experience Nitrogen Narcosis and see the effects it has on us as divers. Some people get very happy, some paranoid, some self righteous and some it has very little effect on. The exercise is to know your own personal effects and to learn how to deal with it when you do dive deep. We will see how air expands and contracts inside the chamber. On our way back up from 50mtrs will enjoy pizza and drinks while inside the chamber.
For those who have not done a chamber dive I strongly recommend it, It's fun while being educational.

The Evening includes
1. Pizza and drinks
2. A talk by the facility's doctor.
3. and the dive to 50 mtrs.

Who is welcome......
1. anyone who is a diver (C Card needs to be provided)
2. anyone who is over 18
3. anyone who is not flying or diving 24 hours before and after the chamber dive.

What to Bring
1. dive computer if you have one
2. camera (no strobes allowed)
3. Yourself (cotton clothing only)
4. Dive Log book and cert card.

The chamber dives are conducted at the Wesley Hospital, you can either meet us at the front gate at 6.pm, or come to the shop at 5.30pm and we will transport you over. The whole nights entertainment lasts about 3 hours.
Cost is just $65 per person, which goes to the Hyperbaric unit to keep it running.
