Kona diving and helicopters

[RDRINK25]

Going to Kona for 4 days of consecutive dive with one manta dive in the middle but wanted to take a ride up to the volcano. Should I be concerned with flying after diving or is the height they take you too withing limits?

I have not done the heli ride but Halemaumau is about 3700 ft so even if they flew the long way around Mauuna Loa you would still hit 4000 fet or so. Consult NOAA tables but I would expect no.

Some companies like to have the option of going over the saddle if conditions require it.... You are looking at over 7000' then. I'd treat it like a plane.
