As far as I know, there is no problem with going Scuba diving straight after flying. This is because when you descnd in a plane and then in the water, you are "on-gassing" and your body is absorbing nitrogen. This is not unsafe. The problem comes with flying after diving. This is where you are "off-gassing" and letting the nitrogen leave your body. You need to allow sufficient time for the nitrogen to completely disperse before flying so as to not give the risk of decompression illness. With relation to the time in this instance, it depends on the dive you are doing. I would recommend using a dive computer if you are doing deep and/or multiple dives. However, I would recommend a "safe" limit of at least 24 hours. Each dive training body will have their own advice on a "safe" time limit.


Hope this helps. If not, drop me a message!
