I am a Dive Master through NAUI. I am recently in the process of helping an Instructor with an Open Water class. I was asked to teach the NAUI Dive Tables and so I did. But at the end of the lesson I was pulled aside and was told if I am going to teach dive tables, I need to teach every thing, so I had asked what it was that I missed? The instructor explained that I need to talk about the flying aspect toward diving. I then asked him to elaberate and it was said to me that I needed to explain how we can fly after diving in a plain. I said to the instructor that I was taught not to fly after diving for 24hrs. NAUI say's after the first dive you shouldn't fly for 12hrs, and if you have a repetitive dive day, you shouldn't fly for 24hrs. Now with this said. My question is, Why would I even mention the idea of flying is ok after diving? I don't know the specific numbers, but, I do know that the cabin pressure can change any where from 1000-10,000ft with in a ten minute time span. I do not consider this safe, in both knowledge or practical application. I would like feed back if anyone is willing to help?
