Cleared for Takeoff
I am new OW diver. I have airplane. I live within reasonable flying distance of Gulf Coast, FL, Bahamas. I know the 'rule' is 18-24hrs before flying. I also know my computer does calculations and provides altitude zones to avoid after diving, ie if you were driving over mountains and such.
Do any of you diver/flyers ever fly yourself at 3-6K 6-10 hours after a SHALLOW dive. I am thinking about a scenario where I fly down to coast on Friday evening, dive Sat, 2-3 tanks and a shallow(30') tank Sunday am and fly home that evening. This assumes the computer says I'm good to be at that altitude.
The 5+ hour drive each way vs flying 1.5-2.5 hrs is the motivation for this. Not wanting to loose a whole travel day.
Anyone have some first hand experience with shorter term surface interval before flying at low altitude?
Thanks,
