=== IANTD in water recompression protocol === The [[International Association of Nitrox and Technical Divers]] (IANTD) has developed a specialized training program for technical divers to perform in-water therapeutic recompression. This procedure is designed for use in remote locations where hyperbaric chambers are not available. The program prepares divers to assess when conditions and equipment are appropriate, and when the diver's condition warrants such emergency treatment.<ref name="IANTD IWR" /> The protocol primarily involves breathing oxygen at a depth of 25 feet of seawater (7.5 meters),<ref name="Doolette and Mitchell 2018" /> with scheduled air breaks to reduce the risk of oxygen toxicity. This approach is intended to manage decompression sickness in extreme situations where conventional treatments are not accessible.
