Safety Protocols & Re-compression Facility
Our villages have comprehensive medical & emergency protocols. There is a doctor at our hyperbaric medical center Baro-medical 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, in case of emergencies.
Baro-Medical is our hyperbaric medical center located on the premises of Marsa Shagra Village. Red Sea Diving Safari is a member of Baro-Medical and guests are automatically insured for decompression treatment for a compulsory fee of 7 Euros. This insurance is valid for 28 days for diving accidents only. It includes emergency chamber treatment (3 HBO sessions), doctor’s fees, diagnosis, as well as equipment and medicines used in treatment. The program does not cover hospitalization or any means of transport of the injured person.
Important Note: we have found that the number one cause of stomach ache/sickness is dehydration. Getting dehydrated is easy to avoid by drinking less alcohol and caffeinated beverages and far more water than usual. Consumption of any alcoholic beverages before diving is prohibited.
