It was closed for several reasons.

Back when first here there was no X-ray facilty to rule out overexpansion injurys before treatment.
The supporting DR was never on site so remote diagnostics via internet cam/phone
The competing Chamber done there absolute best to scare people away with comments about Monoplace is dangerous etc etc.
Competing chamber stepped up the evac procedure to Samui and pushed hard that multiplace is best option plus have full on site hospital support.
Dive operators here never fully suppoirted finacially (needed just 2 mill per year to stay here)

So unfourtunatly the chamber relocated to Bangkok/Samui  hospital, it has exellent back up there and in my opinion one of the best Thai Hyperbaric Drs on site Dr Donya.

SSS also have great staff and still have a good chamber if not just a bit old.

Sad thing is Tao now has full time Drs here and two X-ray facilites, further more neither chamber co have great markerting now and would concentrate more on patients as is required.

Lets see what the future brings, hopefully a multiplace chamber with full support.

I don't see the Phuket Subaquatic Safety Services (SSS) recompression chamber's 24-hour medical emergency/information hotline. If there is one number you should have in your mobile, that is it. 081-081-9000

They are located at Phuket International Hospital thus have recompression doctors on site or on call 24/365. SSS is the Divers Alert Network (DAN) referral recompression chamber for the Phuket region, which includes the Similans/Khao Lak, Phi Phi and Krabi.  

If your diving emergency is on a commercial dive boat, the company will take you to the recompression center which they have purchased insurance with unless the injured diver is known to possess DAN insurance, then they usually go to the SSS DAN chamber at PIH. The staff answering the 24-hour emergency number at SSS are English speaking and Dive Medical Technicians. They can provide valuable medical information and advice in an emergency. Their chamber is a multiplace dual-lock so a tender goes in with the patient, and doctors, medical supplies, and medication can be locked in and out as needed.

The Phuket SSS chamber can also assist with/arrange for evacuation and transport to the PIH from any pier. The vast majority of DCI patients in the Phuket region end up at SSS.

Chamber is currently (and during every low season) providing free 1 day orientation courses to any interested dive professionals working in the Phuket region. This includes a seminar/refresher on DCI recognition, current changes and trends in dive accident management, as well as a chamber dive to 18 meters. PM me or email the chamber for more information.

SSS Phuket 24 hour emergency/information number: 081-081-9000

Also a good number is the DAN South East Asia 24 hour hotline: +61-8-8212 9242

Yep, When I visited it, they had about 15 patients in there receiving hyperbaric treatment for various illness and injuries, no divers though. They also have a smaller room at the other end of it separated by the airlock where the toilets are.
