Divers holding the PADI Scuba Diver qualification must dive with a guide at all times.

FAQ 9: What are the rules associated with flying and diving?

Diving after flying does not generally cause any reason for concern, however there are considerations associated with flying after diving. Any dangers come from excess nitrogen in our body’s tissues from breathing compressed air at depth. For this reason, to avoid the risk of decompression sickness we recommend that you do not fly for a minimum of 12 hours after your last dive.
