Diving & Altitude:
The following guidelines are the consensus of attendees at the 2002 Flying After Diving Workshop. They apply to air dives followed by flights at cabin altitudes of 2,000 to 8,000 feet (610 to 2,438 meters) for divers who do not have symptoms of decompression sickness (DCS). The recommended preflight surface intervals do not guarantee avoidance of DCS. Longer surface intervals will reduce DCS risk further.
For a single no-decompression dive, a minimum preflight surface interval of 12 hours is suggested.
For multiple dives per day or multiple days of diving, a minimum preflight surface interval of 18 hours is suggested.
*Keep in mind that many of the roads around the island exceed 2,000ft. It is the diver's responsibility to know the altitude of their accommodations and the routes to get there.*
**We highly recommend each diver carry dive insurance.**

*Please note that a minimum number of 2 students are required for this course to run.*
