Flying after diving and other beginner questions

[waitressvn]

Hello Friends,
I will be diving this Saturday from 5 am - 10 am and flying the next day at 7 am. Do you think this would be safe? The dive operator said that I would be safe because the time limit has been changed to 18 hrs instead of 24. Is this true? Also on Saturday I would be diving Molokini off Maui, Hawaii. I have told the operator that I just completed certification and I would like to be in a beginner dive. I am assuming that this would be very different from normal dives with lower depth and more instructors.

Hi there,

Have you heard of Divers Alert Network?

Here's a quote from their website:
You could decide to wait for 12 hours before your flight, and have an estimated 1 percent risk of Definite DCS and approximately 2 percent risk of Ambiguous DCS. If you want to keep your level of risk at zero, then don't dive or don't fly. Every time you dive, you are subjecting yourself to a risk of DCS. No tables guarantee absolute safety.

(DAN Divers Alert Network : Flying After Diving -- Cracking the DCS Code) in case you want to read it all.

Warm regards,
