I had such a chamber ride one year. If I hadn't had it, I would never had 
noticed that I was narced the first time I went down to 40m in 0 degree 
water.

I don't think that a chamber ride is a luxury for a **BASIC** (yes, 
**BASIC**) OW scuba class.

What? No availaibility? No ressources? Comeon, I can't believe that no one=
 
can be smart enough to manage to find out and hire a chamber, especially i=
n a 
large metropolitan city.
