Now operating under the name of "Playa International Clinic", the dive medical team consists of qualified Tenders & Operators, Hyperbaric Safety Directors, Certified Dive Medical Technicians and Diving Physicians. But since the clinic's inception injured divers are no longer the only types of patients that are treated  . Providing affordable quality healthcare to everyone, diver or non-diver, local or tourist, is one of the main goals of the Playa International Clinic. The clinic is attended by two physicians, who can deal with most types of illnesses and injuries, and are on call 24 hours a day. It features a modern X- ray department, has advanced life support capability, cardiac monitors, video diagnostic equipment, and a fully equipped overnight patient room. To stay the leader in healthcare in the Riviera Maya region, the clinic is constantly being upgraded. In order to better serve the ever increasing number of patients, a second consultation room was installed, with a third one to follow soon. The team of medical professionals has also been increased. It now consists of two full time licensed nurses, one Beneral Practitioner and diving physician as well as one traumatologist and orthopedic surgeon. The operating hours of the clinic are from 09:00 to 21:00 daily, with the medical staff being on call 24 hours a day.
