Post-Dive Flight Restrictions

As per safety protocols, divers must wait 24 hours after their final dive before they can fly. This "no-fly" time is essential for allowing the body to rid itself of any excess nitrogen absorbed during the dive. Failure to observe this restriction could lead to decompression sickness, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Reason for No-Fly Time	Duration	Importance
Allow body to off-gas nitrogen	24 hours	Critical safety measure
Prevent decompression sickness	Mandatory	Potentially fatal condition
Ensure diver’s well-being post-dive	Strictly enforced	Responsibility of dive operator

Adhering to this post-dive restriction is not only a matter of safety, but also a requirement set by dive operators to protect their clients’ health and well-being.
