A human being usually has a hard time to fly.

But no, there's no (scuba related) risk in your case to take a ride in a plane.

Anyone can fly... it's the landing that's a bit tricky.

Revised Flying After Diving Guidelines for Recreational Diving - May 2002

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.

Check with DAN! I believe they will tell you it's okay.

You have to wait for one hour.
