BMM Cabo San Lucas

Introduction to our Services

Cabo San Lucas (CSL) SSS Hyperbaric facility is located at the southernmost tip of the Baja peninsula, where divers from all around the world come to dive the underwater canyon and observe the unique underwater sand falls. About 50 kms from CSL is Cabo Pulmo, which is the only living coral reef of the Eastern Pacific Seaboard. About 100 kms north of Cabo Pulmo are the islands off of La Paz and Loreto, where one can dive year round with giant mantas, hammerhead schools, whale sharks, and sea lions.

This Sea of Cortez (also known as "Gulf of California") is one of the most densely populated seas in the world with profusion and variety of sea life. 

Our Recompression unit has Instructors (Dive, CPR, 1st Aid, 02), Physicians, EMT, chamber operators and inside tenders, trained by accredited international associations in hyperbaric medicine. Our personnel is constantly updating in rescue techniques, and taking: PHTLS, ACLS, ATLS, and is continuously participating in EMS and evacuation activities whenever our services are required with the local Aquatic Rescue team of the Red Cross, The Fire Brigade, and the Coast Guard. 

Safety

Our facilities promote safety through the education of dive staff and operators. 

Area Hospitals work closely with our facilities and often consult with our chamber medical staff on DCI related topics to ensure early recognition and treatment of diving accidents. Our continuing medical education and training program has  a special relationship with the Catalina (California) Chamber - Member of the Wrigley Institute for Marine Sciences.

Our operation (with the aid of several locally based dive operators) has drawn up evacuation plans and as a result, speedy transport from all popular dive locations by ambulance is available to participating members.

ALSO

We offer (free of charge) Dive Accident Management training to all our members. It should be noted that BMM Cabo is a advisor to Baja University in matters of safety to their ocean research program.

Charity

For humanitarian reasons, BMM Cabo is prepared to offer our services pro bono in the treatment of the unfortunate and uneducated indigenous local scallop fishermen. This typical nominal fee to cover laundry, oxygen and utilities. 

These poor fishermen are ignorant of the cause and effect that unsafe diving practises produce and eventualy many end them arrive at our facility in dire need but with little or no money. We continue with efforts to persuade them to receive better training though.
