I recently got certified in Scuba diving about 7 months ago. I am going to be going on my first real scuba diving trip in about 2 weeks when I visit a family member in the Carribean (isalnd of Grenada).
I am obviously new to the world of Scuba diving. I am excited about my trip, but I want to be safe so I can keep on enjoying this hobby I have discovered for years to come and have a question about some flying rules and Scuba diving. I remember from my YMCA certification class that they talk about diving and flying and that you should wait about 24hrs after your last dive before you fly home. My question is this. Do I need to wait any amount of time when arriving?
I am leaving from the Atlanta area early on a Wednesday morning and arrive in Grenada about 9:15pm that night. I have read on the internet about you should probably wait about 12hrs after arriving at a destination before you go diving. I was hoping to go the following morning, but I guess I should maybe wait until at leat 9-10am Thu, right? Would this be a safe rule to follow?
