OUR HISTORY
SSS Recompression Network opened the new Koh Tao Evacuation Center in August 2002. The new facility allowed Koh Samui to expand its operations and install primary care facilities, medical consultation and evacuation service for both tourists and local community residents.

The facility has Dive Medical Technicians (DMT’s) on staff who are also dive instructors and a consulting Physician who has been trained by an accredited international association in hyperbaric and diving medicine. Its primary aim is to assess patients who have suspected decompression illness (DCI), and recommend further evaluation if necessary to the Koh Samui multiplace recompression chamber. In the event of emergencies the staff is trained and are capable stabilizing patients and evacuating them via a fully dedicated and equipped speedboat or Helicopter to either the recompression chamber or Thai International Hospital on Koh Samui. This is the first and only service of its kind for the island. As well as providing these services, much time and effort is invested into the education and training of the local professional divers in subjects such as dive Accident Management, Oxygen Provision and general dive safety.

The SSS Network Koh Tao Clinic has the following services:
.... Out Patient Service Areas
.... In Patient Service Areas
.... Seminar and Teaching Classroom
.... Administrative Areas
