In another forum someone was asking about flying 19 hours after diving. I was surprised how many people answered advising against it. I figured with the early Continental flight leaving Bonaire this would be a good forum to ask people about their practice of how many hours interval after diving before flying. For myself I have no problem diving till 1 PM on Friday then taking a 7:00 AM flight out on Saturday for an 18 hour interval. When doing this I use Nitrox, usually make the last dive Friday no more than 50 feet, ascend slowly and make a longer than 3 minute saftey stop.
So Bonaire dive fans what are your practices for the interval before diving? How many won't dive at all on Friday, how many are willing to dive late Friday afternoon and still leave Saturday on the early flight, or something in between?

I guess I should have said the early United flight. I haven't made the trip yet since the switch.
