Listen up, adventurers! We have some great news for you. Scuba diving after skydiving<\/strong> isn’t a problem, but skydiving after scuba diving<\/strong> can cause serious health problems if you don’t mind your surface intervals. The experts recommend a minimum of twelve hours between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, with that being said: Have you met our neighbors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skydiving and Scuba Diving in the Same Day?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

No, not the ones along the same street (though those guys are pretty cool, too!) We’re talking about the neighbors swimming around Long Island. If you’re not already a savvy scuba diver, you might not know there are dozens of cool shore dives, wrecks<\/a> and diveable jetties within just a few minutes’ drive of our New York City area skydiving center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Given that close proximity, It wouldn’t be a crazy thing to imagine an adventurous visitor trying to build both kinds of diving – scuba and sky – into a vacation plan. If pressed for time, that adventurist might even want to do skydiving and scuba diving in the same day! We put this quick how-to together to explain how that needs to be done in order to keep it safe. After all: if you don’t plan properly, scuba diving and skydiving in the same day could lead to severe (potentially, fatal!) health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surface Intervals for Skydiving<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to skydive after you scuba dive, you’ll need to make other plans for a little while – though the jury is more than a little out about the finer points of flying after diving. The U.S. Navy tables, on one hand, recommend that you wait just two hours before you board a plane after diving. The U.S. Air Force, on the other hand, insists that you should wait 24. The Divers Alert Network<\/a> holds another position entirely. Here’s how their timetable for the underwater-to-altitude transition works for sports diving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
