The NOAA Diving Center

The Diving Center functions as the administrative support center and primary diver training facility for the NDP. Opened in 1989, the Center includes offices, a modern classroom with state-of-the-art audiovisual capability, dive equipment repair and storage areas, a training tank (30 feet high by 15 feet wide), and three fully-functional hyperbaric chambers (84”,60”, 42” diameter). Gas systems consist of a low pressure air system for chamber operations and surface-supplied diving, plus high pressure air and Nitrox systems for diving.
