Something that I need to throw out there because many people are reading this and several have contacted me via PM and expressed interest. It is not only "have the gear" but also ensuring one is proficient diving with the gear. These locations are not within travel to a chamber. These are remote locations with what I would expect to be simple "facilities". Each of the towns is ~2 hours off the main highway (James Bay Road) which is likely still many hours to the major hospital. Even a helicopter would take a lot longer than it would here in suburbia. We are essentially renting row boats, not chartering a dive boat. These are not likely to have O2 on board or defib or many of the other critical care items (I personally aim to have these available in some fashion if I go). The places we would like be diving would be 1-2 hours to get to by boat from the village shore. We will be in a small boat in a big body of water and far from land. If you add all that up it is a long time before you can get to help.
My point is, this needs to be approached differently than a trip to Bonaire or Hawaii. Equipment can be rented. Experience can't. Safety has to be paramount here because there really is no safety net. Once I have a good picture from my discussions, I will share here what I think we can expect to let people choose for themselves.
