Abstract

Although many interesting diving spots are located in Germany, most spots require a previous airline flight. As early as in the first hours of an open water diver course, beginners learn that flying and diving may interfere. Not only the flight back home may cause problems, also the flight to the diving spot may increase the risk of diving-related problems. Especially dehydration as well as jet lag can cause accidents. While recent guidelines of the undersea and hyperbaric medical society (UHMS) request an interval of 24 hours before the flight back, 18-24 hours are considered adequate in praxi. Recent literature suggests 36 hours before a flight.
