I recently did four dives over two days to approximately 70 feet using a 35% nitrox mix. I was
already on the plane when I realized that the advised 24 hours had not elapsed since my last dive...it had only been 18 hours. I was a little nervous, but didn't feel anything and that was two weeks ago.
Was it the nitrox, was 18 hours enough, a combination of both, or was I just lucky?
I did meet a guy once who said I was crazy to worry about flying within 24 hours after diving. that he did it all the time. Personally, I'd rather not take the chance.
