How soon after scuba diving is it safe to go on a flight?

It depends: There are a number of dive computers or calculators to determine when it is safe to fly. This depends on the amount of diving you have done and the degree of nitrogen staturation. The dive master can help with this.

Dive to flight time: Rgbm - wait at least 12 hrs after 1 dive within the last 18 hrs, 15 hrs after 2 dives, ; 18 hours after 3 dives before flying.

It depends: Safe time periods between your last dive and flight vary depending on how many dives you did and how aggressive your dives were (how deep and how long). You should be safe though if you wait 24 hrs
