Cozumel Hyperbaric Chamber

There are two Hyperbaric Chambers in Cozumel, which are supported by donations from visiting divers who contribute $1 per day of diving through their affiliated dive operator. This provides the diver with secondary insurance, which will cover all dive (pressure) related treatment at the chamber. Both Chambers are also affiliated with DAN, Undersea Medical Society and the International Society of Travel Medicine.

Dr. Gustavo Ambriz MD, who runs the Buceo Medico Mexicano Chamber, is US trained and is generally considered one of the best doctors on the island regardless if your malady is dive related or not. The Cozumel Recompression Center is located at Calle 5 Sur #21B. Telephone 87 22387 or Fax: 87 21848. The 24 hour emergency number is 87 21430

The Cozumel Hyperbaric Research Chamber is located in the "San Miguel Clinic" at Calle 6 between Ave 5 and Ave 10 near the MAXI Supermarket. The Chamber is operated by Dr. Pascual Piccolo who has been studying & treating diving accidents for over 13 years. The 24 hour emergency number is 87 23070.
