Deck Decompression Chamber
Built to the highest quality.
Each offshore dive spread includes a 2-man, 2-compartment, containerised deck decompression chamber (DDC). The DDC is used to support emergency and therapeutic decompression and/ or planned surface decompression in a compact and efficient package. This is achieved by combining the decompression chamber hull, its control system, emergency gas storage and support equipment into a single containerised unit.
Our decompression diving chamber containers are used as essential equipment for all types of subsea operations from dive support vessels to salvage and research vessels.
Follows requirements stated in D023 DESIGN for Surface Oriented (Air) Diving Systems.
