Dive fitness

Article Abstract:

Scuba divers need a maximum conditioning level of 13 METS for them to do steady work at 8 METS. It will also give divers a good safety factor when diving in difficult situations. A fitness level lower than 13 METS shows that reserve capacity for safety is reduced and should be considered in dive planning.

Flying after diving

Divers should wait two to 12 hrs. before flying for no decompression dives and 18 to 24 hrs. for multiple dives to avoid bubbles which lead to decompression sickness. It is best to limit dives to three times per day and to reduce diving time when flying the next day.
