Scuba Diving and Flying

It’s summertime and there are often opportunities to travel to some beautiful areas and engage in water sports, including scuba diving.   The summertime is particularly nice for diving, as the water is usually a very pleasant temperature, so less “suit” is needed, leading to a more relaxed feeling for many divers. Enjoy your diving, just be sure that when you’re flying after diving that you pay attention to the recommendations for minimum pre-flight surface time (after diving and before flying).   Divers Alert Network (DAN) has good references on many dive related topics – check this one on pre-flight intervals.
