A diving chamber is a vessel for human occupation, which may have an entrance that can be sealed to hold an internal pressure significantly higher than ambient pressure, a pressurised gas system to control the internal pressure, and a supply of breathing gas for the occupants. [1] There are two main functions for diving chambers:
A multiplace chamber is the preferred facility for treatment of decompression sickness as it allows direct physical access to the patient by medical personnel, but monoplace chambers are more widely available and should be used for treatment if a multiplace chamber is not available or transportation would cause significant delay in treatment ...
Dive computer, Decompression practice, Diving bell, Diving chamber There are several categories of decompression equipment used to help divers decompress , which is the process required to allow divers to return to the surface safely after spending time underwater at higher ambient pressures.
A closed diving bell, also known as personnel transfer capsule or submersible decompression chamber, is used to transport divers between the workplace and the accommodations chambers. The bell is a cylindrical or spherical pressure vessel with a hatch at the bottom, and may mate with the surface transfer chamber at the bottom hatch or at a side ...
Recreational decompression tables printed on plastic cards. Decompression theory is the study and modelling of the transfer of the inert gas component of breathing gases from the gas in the lungs to the tissues of the diver and back during exposure to variations in ambient pressure.
1. Procedure of pressurising a diving chamber or saturation habitat. 2. Procedure of driving water out of the bottom of an open diving bell by displacing it with air or other breathing gas at ambient pressure. blowout. Main article: Blowout (well drilling)
A Saturation System or Saturation spread typically comprises a living chamber, transfer chamber and submersible decompression chamber, which is commonly referred to in commercial diving as the diving bell and in military diving as the personnel transfer capsule, [99] PTC (Personnel Transfer Capsule) or SDC (Submersible Decompression Chamber ...
A diving bell is a rigid chamber used to transport divers from the surface to depth and back in open water, usually for the purpose of performing underwater work. The most common types are the open-bottomed wet bell and the closed bell, which can maintain an internal pressure greater than the external ambient. [1]
