Yeah, I understand the decompression issues. Our diving will not be deep. We
will stay for a few days - snorkel the last day. Also, commercial aviation
cabins are pressurized to about 8,000 feet. We can fly much lower than that.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

a "Fly-in SCUBA trip" seems somewhat contradictionary to me, as the
nitrogen accumulation aquired during SCUBA-Diving restricts even
commercial flying for up to 24 hours after a dive. General
recommendation for PADI-Divers is to refrain from diving for 24 hours
before commencing a flight. So unless you plan on staying several days,
your diving would have be very limited.

regards,
Friedrich
