Yeah, I understand the decompression issues. Our diving will not be
deep. We will stay for a few days - snorkel the last day. Also,
commercial aviation cabins are pressurized to about 8,000 feet. We can
fly much lower than that.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

a "Fly-in SCUBA trip" seems somewhat contradictionary to me, as the
nitrogen accumulation aquired during SCUBA-Diving restricts even
commercial flying for up to 24 hours after a dive. General
recommendation for PADI-Divers is to refrain from diving for 24 hours
before commencing a flight. So unless you plan on staying several
days, your diving would have be very limited.

regards,
Friedrich

Get a dive computer for sure,.. they can be had in the $200 range. It
tells you exactly when you can fly, and also gives you a hint as to when
to STOP diving if you have to fly the next day.
