I believe that in the large multi-person chambers you do wear a mask. I do know that the entire chamber is not under pressure to where a nurse is in there along with the patients. The attending nurse is not being subjected to the oxygen, pressure, etc.. All of my treatments have been in an individual chamber where no mask is used except for the 2 5 minute air breaks taken during the 2 hour dive.
