Does a timely visit to the Hyperbaric Chamber required?

[T.C.]

I recall hearing this myth once, though I believe I was told that dive pros were taking a chamber ride after a large number of dives to "wash out." The necessity of this is pure myth. Here's what DAN had to say about it:
Alert Diver | The Nitrogen Saturation Myth.

+100. I started looking for this, too.

I just want to know the opinion of the forum here. According to a few of my friends, who are senior divers and among which has a close Hyperbaric doctor friend, a timely visit to the Hyperbaric Chamber is required for divers, rule of thumb is every 40-50 dives, to prevent accumulated nitrogen bubbles from forming inside our body.

Now, is this true?

Been performing a bit of browsing and research, most opinions are that a timely visit to the chamber is pointless. Unless you have DCI, you don't need to go to the chamber.

Please shed some light. Thanks

Are you sure??? Could they be messing with you?

Perhaps the doc is trying to disprove Henry's Law?

I wonder if the name of his facility is Put Another Diver In? Just a thought

Not sure from your wording, but is the doctor a friend of a friend? Is it possible something got lost in translation?

A tour / visit to a chamber facility is educational and worthwhile for all divers. Perhaps the doctor said something similar and someone else added the required, every 40-50 dives, and prevention bits.

I've visited several facilities, never got to go on a "ride", but found every visit enjoyable and educational. Many facilities conduct occasional tours. Commonly coordinated by dive clubs or instructors for classes.

Sounds like the Hyperbaric doctor is running low on cash.

Amen.......

Next they will be sending you out after some relative bearing grease and a cup of steam...

Round our way it was tartan paint.
