Cozumel in the network

Cozumel is where the network started. It was the region's first recompression chamber, placed at the dive site instead of a flight away. The site runs as an alarm center with a doctor on site, and coordinates the response across the Riviera Maya. A satellite chamber sits out at the reef, next to the Palancar and Colombia reef systems.

Full signs, symptoms & first aid ›
  1. Call the nearest chamber. Do not wait to see if the symptoms pass.
  2. Keep the diver at rest. Lay the diver flat, on one side. This keeps the airway clear if the diver vomits.
  3. If the diver is unresponsive but breathes normally, use the recovery position. Stay with the diver. Watch the breathing.
  4. Give the diver medical oxygen. Use medical oxygen as soon as it is available. Give the highest concentration you have.
  5. Treat the diver for shock. Keep the diver warm and hydrated.
  6. Do not delay. Early recompression gives the best chance of full recovery.
