Kraig Dorner

Kraig Dorner, SEAL (Ret)
CFO/CHT/Safety Director

Over 20 years of diving experience.  As a U.S. Navy SEAL I went to the highest quality schools around the world and learned from the greatest.  So when my wife and I decided to open our hyperbaric facility, we did it with the best and with the highest standards.  Safety is our number one concern.  We traveled to many hyperbaric facilities in the United States and around the world and gathered a great deal of information before establishing our facility. 

For the last four years of my career I was stationed at Naval Special Warfare Group One Training Detachment (NSWG-1 TRADET).  I was in charge of all the diving for the SEALs on the west coast.  As a diving Officer and a Diving Supervisor, I was responsible for planning the dives and was required to know what to do in case of an emergency.   I was trained to recognize the symptoms of diving related injuries such as oxygen toxicity, arterial gas embolism, DCS 1 & 2, the bends, and many more injuries.  I was required to know where the nearest hyperbaric chamber was located and how to operate it. 

My qualifications as related to hyperbarics are:

  • US Navy SEAL
  • NSW Diving Officer
  • NSW Diving Supervisor
  • Diver Medical Technician
  • Hyperbaric Safety Director (International ATMO in San Antonio Texas)
  • Inspection, Maintenance of Hyperbaric Acrylic (ATMO)
  • Certified Hyperbaric Technician (CHT) Course at National Polytechnic College of Science
  • (PADI) Dive Master
