3.4.2 Flying After Diving
The no-flying time is shown in the center window next to the non-blinking airplane image. The blinking airplane is a
reminder, when the alternative display showing surface time is on (Figures 3.18 and 3.19). Flying or traveling to a higher
altitude should be avoided anytime the airplane symbol is displayed.
The no-flying time displayed by the dive computer is always at least 12 hours or equivalent to the so-called desaturation time
(if longer than 12 hours). When this time has elapsed, the residual nitrogen is no longer a factor for subsequent dives. At this
time the instrument will automatically deactivate itself.
In the permanent ERROR mode the no-flying time displayed is 39 hours 59 minutes.
Flying or traveling to a higher altitude after a dive may significantly increase the risk of decompression sickness.
WARNING!
YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID FLYING ANYTIME THE COMPUTER DISPLAYS THE DO NOT FLY WARNING
- INDICATED BY AN AIRPLANE! Further, the Divers Alert Network (DAN) advises as follows:
• A minimum surface interval of 12 hours would be required in order to be reasonably assured a diver will remain
symptom free upon ascent to altitude in a commercial jetliner (altitude up to 2400 m [8000 ft]).
• Divers who plan to make daily, multiple dives for several days, or make dives that require decompression stops,
should take special precautions and wait for an extended interval beyond 12 hours before flight.
Suunto recommends that flying be avoided until both the DAN guidelines and the dive computer wait to fly conditions
are satisfied.
