Dive Ski and DCS

[Darnold9999]

Not planning to do this today, but realized that it is definatley likely to happen so ask first. Could not find anything using search.

Multiple day dive, then go skiing at Whistler which tops out at 7500ft the next day. It seems to me that this might be risky. What altitude does no fly start at. Have I missed a discussion re this somewhere?

Thanks

You would definitely need to wait until your computer's NO FLY alert went away, or if you don't have a computer... I'd wait 24 hours.

This questions IMHO belongs in DocDeco forum. A search there will find it discussed.

Yes that would qualify in my book as risky behavior. Personal experience, 1,400 feet, and straight to the chamber. But there are many factors, including EXERCISE which is to be avoided following diving. Multiple days of diving increases the risk. I would chill at sea level for 48 hours following a multi-day dive trip of multiple dive each.

Not a doctor or other expert.
