Flying After Diving

- This workshop on flying after recreational diving was organised by Divers Alert Network (DAN) to bring together representatives from the recreational diving industry with experts from other diving communities. The workshop had two purposes: (a) to review the guidelines and experimental data developed since the first flying after diving (FAD) workshop in 1989; and (b) to debate a consensus for new flying after recreational diving guidelines. Previous consensus advised to wait 12, 24 and 48 hours before flying after a single, repetitive and decompression dive respectively. This was considered overly conservative. Subsequently, DAN proposed a simpler 24-hour wait after any and all recreational diving. There were objections to this on the grounds that the DCS risks of FAD were too low to warrant such a long delay and would result in loss of business for island diving resorts.

A key element of the DAN Mission is educating the diving public and the medical profession on the appropriate care for divers injured in dive accidents. This education takes on many forms, disseminating information on topics related to dive safety through articles, reports, seminars, lectures and training programs.

In 2001 I flew from Aruba to Bonaire and made two dives of 100 feet and then 60 feet on the second. We flew over at 4500 feet and flew back to Aruba at 1200 feet. In 2010 I made the same flight and dives and flew back to Aruba the same day. I dove with Aruba Fly and Dive and the low attitude was the key. No issues, but when I am flying in a jet at 10,000 feet or higher I make sure I get the 18 to 24 hours before I go home since I do multiple dives for a month… Thanks for the information and video and I hope that everyone dives safe!
Good to know the video was helpful.
It is up to the individual customer to choose to dive or not, i.e., when they start and when they ultimately stop before flying. I agree with the 24hr rule..
Thank you for your feedback.
While I found the video helpful, I found the recommendation okay but somewhat vague and confusing. I still have not got my finger on what it was that confused me yet. Fortunately I have never experienced DCS symptoms. I do realize that there are costs that impact dive operators, but I fail to see how they should impact the safety of a diver before flying. As you have said before, everyone is different and just because the majority do not experience DCS flying afterwards, to me, does not make it right to say it is right to fly too soon. One life is one to many in my books.
I dive with nitrox all the time as I find it less taxing on my body and I will continue to do the 24 hour wait no matter what.
Thanks Dan
