Diving & Altitude:
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.
Keep in mind that many of the roads around the island exceed 2,000ft. It is the diver's responsibility to know the altitude of their accommodations and the routes to get there.

Tips
-
Transportation is not included. Be on time. Do not underestimate driving time. Morning traffic conditions are quite congested and slow moving, especially if you are staying South of Kailua-Kona and driving North to the harbor. It is your responsibility to arrive on time and we reserve the right to leave at our scheduled departure time
-
You must be able to present your dive card prior to boarding the vessel - physical or ecard. It is your responsibility to show proof of certification. If you do not have your certification card and cannot provide proof of being certified we will not take you diving and no refund will be issued.
-
If it has been more than 2 years since your last dive, we require you to take a refresher course. If it has been more than 5 years we require a PADI ReActivate. If it has been more than 10 years, we require you to take the open water course again. This is for YOUR safety! Falsifying this information can lead to serious injury or death.
-
Wear sun-protective clothing instead of sunscreen. Only mineral sunscreens are permitted aboard our vessels. As lovers of the ocean kindly be stewards of the ocean. If we see you using toxic sunscreen you will be asked to put it away.

Bring a reusable water bottle
-
If you are prone to seasickness, we strongly recommend taking Bonine!
