Diving decompression chambers, also referred to as pressurized living chambers, are used in saturation diving, an approach where divers stay under high-pressure conditions for prolonged periods. In this environment, inert gases in the breathing mixture fully saturate the body’s tissues. Between operations, divers remain inside the chamber under the same pressure level, avoiding repeated decompression and resurfacing cycles.
These chambers are designed to offer a stable and pressurized living and working space while underwater tasks are carried out. Once all underwater work is completed, divers undergo a single, controlled decompression phase inside the chamber. Beyond saturation missions, these HBOT units are also used for therapeutic purposes, especially in treating decompression sickness (also known as “the bends”), as their dual function supports both commercial diving work and hyperbaric therapy with practical and proven applications.
Applications
Used in commercial diving operations such as offshore oil drilling, subsea cable installation, and deep-sea exploration, where divers require decompression chambers to safely recover after prolonged exposure to high-pressure environments.
Supports scientific and archaeological diving by providing a secure decompression process for researchers engaged in deep-water missions.
Serves military diving units by ensuring safe and controlled decompression for special forces and naval personnel following underwater assignments.
Assists underwater rescue teams by offering post-dive recovery and decompression treatment, helping them return safely after intensive deep-sea interventions.
Features
The chamber structure is built to withstand high pressure and is paired with accurate regulation systems, emergency venting, and backup gas sources to ensure user safety.
Smart automation simplifies operation, reduces manual workload, and enhances the overall efficiency of decompression procedures.
Modular and portable formats make it easy to transport and set up in different environments. Small-capacity models are ideal for tight spaces, while larger units can be expanded to meet specific requirements.
In addition to decompression support and HBOT, the system can be used for underwater training simulations and other diving-related applications.
Interior layouts include comfortable seating, proper lighting, and air filtration. Some versions also come with touchscreen panels and entertainment options to support long-duration use.
Main Components
Control System
The integrated control system is housed in a compact cabinet for streamlined operation. It enables real-time monitoring of conditions inside the decompression chamber and facilitates communication with personnel during use. A built-in UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) ensures continued function and chamber stability during unexpected power interruptions.
Medical lock
The decompression chamber is equipped with a secure pass-through system that improves the sealing between the internal and external environment during item transfers. Its easy-to-open inner door cover design streamlines use and enhances overall reliability.
Modular Layout
The main decompression chamber and gas supply systems are housed in separate containers, making transportation, installation, and routine maintenance much more efficient, especially for field operations or mobile deployments.
Specifications
Each decompression chamber can be customized according to specific client needs. Detailed technical parameters are available upon request to ensure alignment with operational and environmental requirements.
Optional Features and Customization Options
Custom exterior color options to match facility branding or design preferences
Adjustable chamber capacity depending on the number of users and space considerations
Additional configurations and features available based on client requirements, including equipment layout, interface integration, and comfort enhancements

What is a diving decompression chamber used for?
A diving decompression chamber, also known as a pressure chamber, has an important role in saturation diving. During this process, divers spend extended periods in high-pressure environments, where inert gases from breathing mixtures become fully saturated in body tissues. The chamber provides a controlled high-pressure space to support their work and recovery between dives.
Is it safe to use a decompression chamber?
Yes. These chambers are built with pressure-resistant structures and equipped with precise pressure regulation systems. Emergency exhaust valves and backup gas sources are also included to ensure safety during all operational phases.
Does the decompression chamber have any other features?
Besides treating decompression sickness and providing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), decompression chambers are also used to simulate underwater survival training. Interior features may include seating, lighting, air purification systems, and, in some models, touchscreen controls and entertainment systems to help reduce stress during extended stays.
