After a few days of freediving (though not below 73'), I called my dive doctor to see when I could fly. He said 24 hours after diving, it is okay to fly. On the flip side, he said I could dive as soon as the plane's landing gear touched down. In case you're wondering why in the world I have a dive doctor, it is because I am a science diver. I'm paranoid about DCS, and though there has been a recently-published report by DAN about the risks associated with freediving...the info out there isn't encompassing enough to allow me to err outside of caution.
