Setting the Standard for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Certification
Independent certification and registry for professionals working in hyperbaric, diving, and clinical oxygen therapy environments.
Who We Are
The International Board of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (IBHBOT) is an independent certifying organization dedicated to establishing and maintaining professional standards in hyperbaric oxygen therapy and related operational environments. IBHBOT does not provide training. Instead, we oversee certification, board examinations, and credentialing pathways developed to support safe, ethical, and scope-appropriate practice across clinical, diving, and remote medicine settings.
Serving Professionals Across Multiple Disciplines
Who We Serve
IBHBOT certification pathways are designed for professionals working in:

- Commercial, scientific, and public safety diving operations
- Offshore, maritime, and remote medical settings
