Advanced medical personnel: To obtain a DMT Specialist certification through Hyperbarics International and the International Board of Undersea Medicine the participant must have taken a 1 or 2 year medical training program as a PA, Nurse, Paramedic, Military Medic, or other allied medical professional training; in addition to being an active scuba diver. These medics should be qualified to work off shore on barges, ships, oil rigs, or inland commercial diving operations. They may also fill in for doctors and manage medical problems for all divers and other crew members, and be in contact with a physician on the shore. Since gases under pressure are a liquid, these medics should be able to maintain and supervise air chamber operations in hospitals and maintain all facility operations working with the doctor.
Basic Diver Medical Technologist: Must have taken state or National 120 hour EMT program and be a certified diver. After completing those requirements, they will be qualified to work under a hyperbaric facilities supervisor or physician for chamber operations duties.
