My bf and I have a fabulous trip to Maui in January where we will be doing a discovery shore dive in Kihei. I'm an advanced diver, he is not certified. My question is this....I was told by the agency we are diving through to be mindful of driving to elevation after our dive (we are staying in Haiku) which is at 1500 feet elevation. The recommended that anywhere over 1000 feet of elevation isn't "safe" and said that PADI suggests waiting 18 hours before going to elevation. She then quaintly added, "it's up to you what you do," as if to say, we would probably be ok. I need some real answers here. Obviously we would try to stay at a lower elevation as long as possible and make a day out of it, get dinner, go home later in the evening. Advice? Thanks!
