For the Diving crowd, there is an excellent chamber facility in San Pedro.
When you land at the airstrip in San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, you may notice
an unusual building on the northwest side of the airstrip.
The building houses a Double-Lock Recompression Chamber owned by Subaquatics of Belize Ltd. It is the only recompression chamber in Belize. The chamber stands on Radio Frequency 14.4600 twenty-four hours a day as the majority of dive shops and boats in San Pedro are radio
equipped. They can be reached by phone @ 501 226-3195.
San Pedro is proud of its safe diving record and equally proud of its chamber.
You can dive with peace of mind and enjoy the hundreds of dive sites found in Belize. Two key people that run this chamber are Dr. Otto Rodríguez
501-226-2854 and Ms. Antonia Guerrero 501-206-2152
