In 2018, our location in Zurich launched the already well-known and popular Tschiggi Diving, which has surpassed the borders of Zurich. As a platform for the ever-growing community of resilient female lake divers who prefer to gather in local waters instead of at the hairdresser's, these events and evening dives offer the perfect escape from everyday life – all under the motto "Ladies Only." Because sometimes our dear men are allowed to stay at home. The diving level doesn't matter; only the fun factor and the joy of being underwater count.

Excursions to the Hyperbaric Chamber Basel - various dates available
Program:
Have you always wanted to know how it feels to take a ride in a decompression chamber and what happens to your body during it?
Join us for one of our excursions to the Hyperbaric Center's compression chamber in Basel.
You will experience the narcotic effect of breathing gas (known as nitrogen narcosis) in a controlled environment and test your reaction and absorption capacity at a depth far beyond the recreational diving range. We'll ensure there's plenty of entertainment during the dive. Prepare for a warm "dive," it won't be chilly in the chamber :)
The dive will last 60-70 minutes to approx. 57m depth and can even be officially logged in your logbook afterward. Don't forget to bring your dive computer!
During the subsequent lunch, we'll take out our logbooks and exchange experiences.
Requirements
- minimum age of 18 years
- PADI Open Water Diver or equivalent
- Medical certificate not older than 1 year
- Last dive must be more than 24 hours ago + flight ban for 36 hours after the hyperbaric chamber ride
Price
