Introducing the Narcosis Experience

Adventure Outfitters was lucky enough to offer the first IBUM Narcosis Diver course! This course was designed to offer certified divers to participate in an experience that takes them in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber, pressurized down to at least 165 feet in a controlled, expert-led environment.

Watch a few clips from the experience in the chamber!
