Recompressions chamber is in Port Moresby fully functional
See video of the chamber here:
https://www.facebook.com/ProdivePNG/videos/1888880771209394/?v=1888880771209394 Know more: What do you need a decompression chamber for?Above all, chamber is needed to treat a decompression sickness: If there is reason to suspect that a diver ascended too quickly and that he has suffered damages from insufficient pressure compensation, he is put into this chamber. Here the same pressure as the one underwater prevails. Thus the symptoms should diminish or even disappear completely. Afterwards, the doctor reduces the pressure slowly back to a normal level. By doing so, the diver can get used to the normal ambient pressure again and the body dissipates the gases that were released in the blood. This treatment can last for several hours – thereby it is important that a doctor looks after the diver permanently. The diver must still remain under observation for a few hours after the end of the treatment as well. Dive Insurance mandatory for diving in PNG All divers must hold comprehensive dive and medical evacuation insurance to access the services of the re compression chamber in Port Moresby (Closest) or anywhere else in the world in case of emergency. This includes ALL dive guests. Any diver requiring treatment at the chamber will not be accepted without a guarantee of payment, whether an insurance policy, personal credit card or other means. DAN Insurance is recommended for its swift response time and its endorsement of this HPL-owned chamber. In the event of an incident for a DAN-insured diver, DAN will notify the medevac provider, notify HPL to prepare the chamber and process all necessary paperwork. For other-insured divers it may take a bit longer for that insurer to move through these stages. We recommend DAN Asia Pacific to buy your own member ship plan: https://members.danap.org/#/signup?referralCode=S00128 Or you can buy Insurance plan with us: Discover Scuba Diving:, Bubble Maker 12 Kina per Person per course Course Students: 15 kina per person per course Certified Divers: 25 kina Per Person per day Kokopo Beach Bungalows Resort Promo Video 2020
2 plane wrecks and 1 shipwreck in ONE DAY OF DIVING
dIVE 2Georges Wreck
The pilot told George Tyers how he had bombed a Japanese freighter on the northern side of Rabaul during the War. When he returned to Rabaul, George went to the area to the immediate north of Rabaul.
Using the pilot's description, he found what he thought was the location and he went for a snorkel. He soon discovered the ship; it is located only a short distance from the small bay and is only 10 metres under the surface. From that day on, the wreck became known as "George's Wreck". It is still known as that as no-one has yet been able to identify the ship for certainty, although there is a possibility as I will show later. Mioko Island:Day trip or overnight stay?
This island offers joy for both ,travelers just passing by for hour or two or travelers who wish to stay on the island for day or two .
