The Slark Hyperbaric Unit (SHU), located in Devonport, Auckland, was officially opened by the Rt. Hon. Warren Cooper in 1990.

Named after the late Royal New Zealand Navy Surgeon Commodore Tony Slark, who was a pioneer in diving medicine research, our unit brings over 40 years of diving and hyperbaric medicine knowledge and experience to New Zealand's diving community. Without doubt, this unit will continue to be at the forefront in hyperbaric medicine expertise.
