I don't want to push anyone outside their comfort zone, but all the main dive agencies state 24 hours is for deco diving and 18 hours for multiple non-deco dives. This basically allows one to dive a morning-early afternoon 2-3 tank and take the next early morning flight. With that being said, I talked to a diver who bragged he's never had the bends because he waits 48 hours before flying...YOLO
The 1st week, I will do at least 18 dives, 3 per day and in the NO FLIGHT day, instead of that, I will go back to Malé in the early morning fastboat, go divingf rom Hulhumalé at least to Shark Tank, Lankang Manta Point and if I can, somewhere else. After that, fastboat to the next destination. So I prefer to keep diving. ON my last diving day, if the diving center is flexible and I can convince them to start earlier, instead of 1 dive in the morning I will do 2, and after that, relaxing before the flight back.

All the Dive Masters I know keep insisting in 24 hours when you do this type of marathon. I will leave the Maldives with at least 36 dives in 2 weeks. My 1st week will be 100% Enriched Air, but after that, I do not know.
