After dive : brief altitude commute

[drbill]

I would wait. Out here we had a local dive instructor who did a few training dives, then drove across the island (maximum elevation about 1,700 ft) and took a hit. She survived but never dove again.

Are you using a dive computer?.... Most commercial airliners are pressurized to the equivalent of 7000 feet so if the dive computer had me in No Fly I wouldn't make the drive to that altitude.

I have a Pedrix AI.

I cannot recall it ever indicating no-fly ?

I do not have the Perdix AI sorry. My current (Aqualung I550c) and previous (Cobra 3) computers both do have a no fly indicator.

It doesn't.

8000 ft is a more appropriate altitude to use. Commercial airliner requirements call 8000 as the design max cabin altitude. While some are lower, 8000 is a more conservative number, and it is the cabin altitude of the 737, which, of course, is a common dive destination aircraft.
