Does anybody know if it would be a problem to go Scuba diving one day and doing the parks the next day?::confused3
We're planning on going Scuba diving about 60 feet down and we want to do the parks the rest of the week.:cool1:

You are concerned about decompression sickness? I'm no expert, but I don't think you can get that from riding a roller coaster after diving. It's recommended that you wait at least 12-hours between your dive and an airplane flight. If you're worried I would just use that rule of thumb for any big roller coasters. I would also ask your Dive Master on your dive.

My DH and DD dived with Tanks A Lot in Tampa last March and had a blast!
 
There's no problems. With the profile your showing you won't take on enough nitrogen to worry. Second the coasters aren't tall enough to cause any issues. You'd have to dive at sea level then go to like Denver on a coaster for it to be even remotely an issue. If your concerned, stop at 30 feet for 1 minute then do your safety stop for 5 and that will wash even more residual nitrogen out of your system. Use nitrox if your certified and that will help even more.

Its 24 hours between diving and flying unless your computer shows a flight countdown then use that.
