ABOUT Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine

The main aim of the Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Division is to improve the operational capability of Royal Navy Diving by promoting good health and safety and maximising the effectiveness of personnel. Since the Royal Navy is the lead Service for all military diving, the Division has an equivalent aim for Army Diving and for tri-Service military adventurous training diving. To meet these aims the Division acts as the final authority in the assessment of medical fitness for all types of Service diving. It also acts as medical advisor to the Superintendent of Diving on the development of safe diving policy for the Military Diving Safety Management System.
