Frequently Asked Questions

(9)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Certified Diver: 2-Tank Shallow Reef Dives off Oahu cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.

Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
