    This is a two day certification including knowledge development in the classroom, confined water skills and a boat dive.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (9)

    Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

    A: Participants in the Scuba Diver Certification Course cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
