For those that enjoy diving, and who wouldn’t in the wonderful locations that their owners so often choose, the presence of a Hyperlite hyperbaric stretcher on board brings peace of mind to all those aboard participating in the sport. When things go wrong, the benefit of early recompression greatly reduces the likelihood of more severe sickness and possible permanent disability. The casualty can then be taken to a hyperbaric chamber by helicopter or other form of transport, already receiving the therapy that he or she would only receive a considerable time later. With diving accidents, the time till re-compression is of the essence.
