The Environmental Medicine and Physiology Unit houses a hyper/hypobaric chamber built by Perry to PVHO-1 standards.
It is comprised of three locks (sections) all capable of operating at separate presurization control and are inter connected with both internal and external doors: entrance lock, main lock, wet pot.

An environmental system controls ambient air purity and temperature and also provides temperature control and filtration in the wet chamber.

The main living chamber is outfitted to support a maximum of 7 (with one station kept free for emergency) with demand-line breathing masks and four fold up bunks for extended stays.

The maximum altitude is 33.5km/100,000' ASL or the equivalent to Mars surface pressure.
The maximum dive depth is 305 meters sea water or 1,000' sea water

We offer physiological training programs, pilot high altitude (hypoxia) training, materials and equipment testing, scientific evaluation of diving equipment, technical and engineering support.

Our current research areas include, diving physiology, environmental medicine; hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and intermittent hypoxia.
