DCI Risk / Flying

[Gareth]

Hi

Forgive me if this an innapropriate place to ask this questions, but...

On Saturday I have two dives planned ( Dry Suit Spec)
On Sunday I have a deep dive and wreck dive planned (end of AOW)

On Tuesday, about midday, I am flying to pretty much the other side of the planet.

Will I be ok to fly by then?

Cheers for any advice

Gareth

Yes, by any agencies recommnedations you will be fine.

More than 24 hours before your flight and sounds like you are doing all no decompression diving.

Have a great dive and a great trip.

Superb, just what I wanted to hear!

Woohoo!

Yes, the absolute worse case bent computer will come alive after 48 hours, most travel companies say 24hrs, most dive agencies anywhere between 16 and 24 hours depending on the dive.

By any reckoning you're fine.

Ive dived at 7pm on Saturday and flown 7am Monday and will be again this month with no problems.

With that schedule I'd be doing two dives on Monday morning too!

Yeah - me, too. DAN now recommends a minimum of 18 hours after the last of multiple dives/days - more is better.

Except this guy is traveling out of the country. I think I would go for the 24 hours or more. I'd sure hate to be the medical emergency that forcred an international flight to go back?! :embarr:
