Fast facts about the risks of flying after diving.

- Dan

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU WAIT?

Flying shortly after diving can increase the likelihood for a diver to experience symptoms of DCS. Therefore, DAN’s safe diving and travel practices recommend a waiting period that varies in duration depending upon the type and intensity of the diving performed.

These guidelines apply to divers who have no symptoms of decompression sickness (DCS) and will be flying at cabin altitudes of 610 to 2,438 metres.

Q: Why are some divers more susceptible to DCS?

A: You may have heard of divers who fly less than 12 hours after diving with no negative impact and others that wait a longer period who end up with symptoms of DCI and wondered why this happens.
