Recompression Chamber (University College Hospital, Galway) Opened and On-Call

I am happy to advise CFT divers that the Recompression Chamber (RCC) in University College Hospital, Galway (UCHG) has been re-opened for emergency treatment of divers. The RCC is available 24/7 for emergencies.

Divers, DOs, DODs etc. who suspect Decompression Illness should contact the Coastguard (999/112 or Ch. 16) as soon as possible and request recompression treatment.

Niall Stapleton,
National Diving Officer
