Abstract
A diving pool includes a first tiered section extending to a first depth of the diving pool, a second tiered section extending to a second depth of the diving pool that is deeper than the first depth. The diving pool may be configured to facilitate pressure-based therapeutic treatments at the various depths. The diving pool may include a cover. The cover can be releasably positioned within the diving pool at a depth of the diving pool to isolate a shallower portion of the diving pool above the cover at the depth from a deeper portion of the diving pool below the cover at the depth.
Claims20
A diving pool, comprising:
- a first tiered section extending to a first depth of the diving pool configured to provide a first pressure to facilitate pressure-based therapeutic treatment at the first depth using the first pressure;
- a second tiered section extending to a second depth of the diving pool that is deeper than the first depth to provide a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure to facilitate pressure-based therapeutic treatment at the second depth using the second pressure;
- and
- a cover configured to be positioned within the diving pool at a depth of the diving pool to isolate a shallower portion of the diving pool above the cover from a deeper portion of the diving pool below the cover, wherein:
- the cover includes at least two portions that are each configured to be independently and selectively moveable between a non-deployed position and a deployed position;
- in the deployed position, the at least two portions are configured to collectively form a barrier between the shallower portion and the deeper portion to isolate the shallower portion from the deeper portion;
- and
- in the non-deployed position, the at least two portions are retracted to provide access between the shallower portion and the deeper portion.

A diving pool, comprising:
- a first tiered section extending to a first depth of the diving pool configured to provide a first pressure to facilitate pressure-based therapeutic treatment at the first depth using the first pressure;
- a second tiered section extending to a second depth of the diving pool that is deeper than the first depth to provide a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure to facilitate pressure-based therapeutic treatment at the second depth using the second pressure;
- and
- one or more connection points at a depth of the diving pool, the one or more connection points being configured to releasably connect to a cover positioned at the depth within the diving pool, the cover including at least two portions that are each configured to be independently and selectively moveable between a non-deployed position and a deployed position, wherein:
- in the deployed position, the at least two portions are configured to collectively form a barrier between the shallower portion and the deeper portion to isolate the shallower portion from the deeper portion;
- and
- in the non-deployed position, the at least two portions are retracted to provide access between the shallower portion and the deeper portion.

- and
- a second tiered section extending to a second depth of the diving pool that is deeper than the first depth to provide a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure to facilitate pressure-based therapeutic treatment at the second depth using the second pressure, wherein:
- the diving pool is configured to accept a removable platform, which is positionable at a selectable depth within the diving pool, to isolate a shallower portion of the diving pool above the platform from a deeper portion of the diving pool below the platform;
- the platform includes at least two portions that are each configured to be independently and selectively moveable between a non-deployed position and a deployed position;
- in the deployed position, the at least two portions are configured to collectively form a barrier between the shallower portion and the deeper portion to isolate the shallower portion from the deeper portion;
- and
- in the non-deployed position, the at least two portions are retracted to provide access between the shallower portion and the deeper portion.
