Ronnie based on our standards this is a good suggestion. It is one that 
the organized diver operators in third worlds have presented before. 
The problem many/most of the indians have no education and the folks 
who own the boats simply do not give a hoot. Thus the indian dives to 
their physcial capacity, which with a chamber would not be any longer 
nor unfortunately shorter. but hopefully fewer would be crippled for 
life and dependent on their society in a third world to support them.  

They really deserve the chamber and the operators deserve our pressure 
to provide education to the divewrs.

There are a couple of boats/operators that I know out of hondrous that 
do educate and train their divers and they rarely have dci problems.

What is really distressing is that some of the owners of these vessels 
are well educated American and other first world people who simply turn 
their back to theplight of the indian in order to improve profits,
