The best source for chamber information is DAN.

Chamber availability is a moving target for many reasons and it is a good idea to stay up to date if you are doing staged decompression diving.

Actually DAN will not provide Chamber information.

Here is a list, but it is always good to call ahead and check if they are still in operation.

When I had a dive accident at Lake Travis, I went to the recompression chamber at HealthSouth next door to Brackenridge Hospital. They sent me there since they had a larger chamber. The staff was very good. The doctor from St Davids (Dr Gary Mailman) happened to be in the area that day and help with me accident. The reverse squeeze is hell. I looked on the net but did not see HealthSouth listed under hyperbaric medicine Below are some listing I found for the area.
