DECOMPRESSION CHAMBERS

The school has four Twin Lock Decompression Chambers (DDC). Class II students at PDC are required to log 20 hours of chamber operations and should they wish to do the Chamber Operator Certificate, they need to log 50 hours of chamber operations. These 4 chambers ensure that students can achieve these hours and get their practical experience.
