Can I drink a few beers after diving?

[agilis]

Is it ok to drink a few (1-4) cans of suds after diving? As long as I am well hydrated Will this significantly raise my risk of DCS? Should I wait a few hours before diving or is time not a factor? Thanks for the help!

Is it OK with mom?

Do I get extra bonus points for when somebody hands me a beer as I'm walking up the dive ladder after completing a technical dive? #safetyfirst

Is the beer wearing a PFD
(land lubbers call them coozies)

Absolutely. Safety first. I don't mess around with life support equipment.

You get extrra bonus points if you swill the beer at the safety stop.

Don't know about beer. But if you prefer wine...

Those guys are not only sophisticated (highly complicated) but also quite eccentric (deviating from conventional or accepted conduct). Cheers to them.

I would be more worried about the beer getting a case of hyperthermia. Must have adequate thermal protection.

You mean standing on the dive lift as you arise from the water getting steadily heavier, step forward onto the deck as the other divers remove your stages and fins…. De-kit as a cup of tea is handed over…. Back to port to prep the unit for tomorrow’s dive, tides are late so 1000 ropes off. Back to the bed & breakfast for a shower and change, then down to the pub for nice beer, food and camaraderie.

That was this weekend’s dive plan which we executed to perfection

Couple of interesting wrecks too
