  To err on the side of safety, many divers plan a 24-hour surface interval or longer and spend their time exploring topside attractions.

• All divers and students need to follow the recommendation given by the manufacturer of the dive computer regarding No Fly Times and should always take the most conservative approach in regard's to flying after diving. Waiting longer before flying when possible after diving and exploring the top side during this period is always your best approach.
