Divers are recommended to observe a pre-flight surface interval (PFSI) ≥ 24 hours before boarding a plane following a diving vacation. Decompression sickness (DCS) symptoms may occur during or post-flight. This study aimed to examine the adherence of PFSI ≥ 24 in vacationing divers, and if any perceived signs and symptoms of DCS during or after flight were experienced. An anonymous online survey was publicised through diving exhibitions and social media. Data included diver/diving demographics, PFSI before flight, flight details, and perceived signs and symptoms of DCS during or after flight. Data from 316 divers were examined (31% female) with the age range 17-75 years (median 49). Divers recorded 4,356 dives in the week preceding the flight, range 1-36 (median 14). Overall, 251/316 (79%) respondents reported a PFSI of ≥ 24 hours. PFSIs of < 12 hours were reported by 6 respondents. Diagnosed and treated DCS developing during, and post flight was reported by 4 divers with PFSIs ≥ 24 hours and by 2 divers with PFSIs < 24 hours. Fifteen divers boarded a plane with perceived symptoms of DCS. These data suggest that most divers in this study observed the recommendations of a ≥ 24 hour PFSI with safe outcomes.
