Always available care
At Wijmedicine, we specialize in the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of dive-related injuries and conditions. Our diving medicine services are built around the unique needs of commercial and offshore divers operating in the Gulf Coast region. From fitness-to-dive assessments to emergency hyperbaric coordination, we ensure every diver is medically prepared and supported—above and below the surface.
Our physicians are certified in diving and undersea medicine, with extensive experience in decompression illness, barotrauma, and the physiological effects of pressure on the human body. We work closely with offshore contractors, dive medics, and marine safety teams to keep dive operations safe, compliant, and medically supervised.

Diving medicine is not only clinical—it’s preventive, educational, and essential to operational safety. As part of our commitment, Wijmedicine supports diver education and readiness, providing resources to both crews and supervisors.
