I had 30 "dives" and it was so I could have a bad tooth extracted as safely as possible. It worked as I had no issues with the extraction. My treatment was different then Kens, I was in a singular chamber for one person only. It's a round, long, pure glass capsule that you lie in. Nothing is allowed in there with you, no jewelry, nothing at all but your eyeglasses. There are televisions mounted on the walls outside the chambers and the sound is piped into the chamber. All in all, it was a positive experience for me. Minnie
