FLYING AFTER DIVING
For your safety, we require allowing at least 18 hours on the surface after your last dive of the day before flying. Flying too soon after diving increases the risk of decompression sickness, as your body needs time to release excess nitrogen.
Please remember to check your flight departure time in advance and plan your dives accordingly.
If you need help organizing your schedule around travel, our team will be happy to assist you.
