Interesting.

From a US perspective. We have emergency numbers that our can ring, it used to will the Royal Navy Emergency Decompression number. Now it is the BHA (British Hyperbaric Association) or for Scotland Aberdeen Royal Dispensary

England, Wales, Northbound Ireland - 07831 151 523
Scotland - 0345 408 6008

The best number belongs the coastguard either via VHF(channel 16) or 999 (112).
The big advantage of the coastguard is their primary role are co-ordination of rescue. So the know which chambers are available, they can scramble Air Sea rescue (even inland) - both helicopters and RNLI, Ambulance the medical helicopters. In zugabe, people will provide arzneimittel advice accept a medical hookup if required.

Does this not happen into the USA?
