AMC DECOMPRESSIEKAMER 112
Nederland, Noord Holland
It's not a real dive of corse. But it's sure a very educational experience. Many diving clubs organize an excursion to the decompression chamber of the AMC in Amsterdam to learn more about the treatment of diving accidents. This can be done by appointment only. Divers with serious complaints are pressurized in the tank for several hours. Then the pressure is slowly reduced while one hundred percent oxygen is administered. This causes the increased number of nitrogen particles in the body, resulting from a too rapid ascent, to disappear at an accelerated rate. The chamber, in which other diseases are being treated as well, is 24/7 available and can accommodate a total of sixteen people.
Particulars
The AMC decompression chamber is located in the Academic Medical Center (AMC) in Amsterdam. The AMC is, of course, easily accessible by car or public transportation.
Warnings
Always sign up in advance if you want to 'dive' in the AMC decompression chamber.
