how soon can i dive after landing or prior to take offInterest forums / Diving & Snorkelling | ||
hi, its been a while since ive dived. question... how soon can i dive after landing or prior to take off? do i have to wait 24 hours after ive landed or refrain from diving 24 hours before diving?? thanks | ||
You can dive right after landing, but you cannot fly immediately after diving. Depending on the number of dives you do in a short period, you will have to wait different periods. For a single dive on just one day, you need to wait a minimum of 12 hours. For multiple days of diving or multiple dives in a day, you need to wait a minimum of 18 hours. We generally recommend waiting 24 hours just to be conservative. | 1 | |
i totally agree with both of them..... | 2 | |
Do you understand the reasons for the diving/flying rules? If you do, it's easier to remember the rules. | 3 | |
I would recommend a refresher course at your local dive shop. | 4 | |
