It makes a huge difference if you're writhing in excruciating pain the whole time. Otherwise, probably not.Interesting timing of this thread. I was always of the understanding that the wait was 24 hours, until a year or two ago when I heard some agencies suggested 12 hours would be fine.
Here's my situation. Next Tuesday I'm scheduled to dive the Spiegal and Duane (90-100ft) in the morning, and a couple shallow reefs in the afternoon. I'm also considering a 1-tank night dive on a shallow reef (no deeper than 30-40 ft). My flight takes off the next day at 6:30pm. being that the night dive will likely end around 8:00 - 9:00pm on Tuesday, I will have no problem with that 12 wait; however, I will be short a couple hours on a 24 hour wait. The flight is not too long if that makes a difference (Tampa to Baltimore). I wish there was a dive shop in Key Largo that does a Monday night dive.

The guideline for repetitive NDL dives is 18 hours, so you should be fine.
