24 hours. Aren't you certified? This is usually a stressed point in
cert classes.

There has been several updates and if you are not sure you should be going
to your local dive shop and take a scuba refresher course.

Best answer.

Um, you might want to check the Dan Web site. It says:

The following guidelines are the consensus of attendees at the 2002
Flying After Diving Workshop. They apply to air dives followed by
flights at cabin altitudes of 2,000 to 8,000 feet (610 to 2,438 meters)
for divers who do not have symptoms of decompression sickness (DCS). The
recommended preflight surface intervals do not guarantee avoidance of
DCS. Longer surface intervals will reduce DCS risk further.

* For a single no-decompression dive, a minimum preflight surface
interval of 12 hours is suggested.
* For multiple dives per day or multiple days of diving, a minimum
preflight surface interval of 18 hours is suggested.
* For dives requiring decompression stops, there is little evidence
on which to base a recommendation and a preflight surface interval
substantially longer than 18 hours appears prudent.

24 hours is certainly safe, but according to DAN, not necessary.

Well you need to have time to get to the airport, check in, stuff like
that.

That about covers it unless you want to have time to get something to
eat as well.

Definately, although you have to fly internationally to get the one
with free booze

It may be, but it has little bearing with reality. MHK would show up
to the airport with his hair still wet. Lots of variables, more than can
result in one or two set answers.

I strive for a late morning flight out so I can still do the morning 2
tanker the day before. That translates to about 20 hours.

Absolutely. I can't believe I forgot to allow for that. Making time for
the lounge is of utmost importance.
