Flight crew members who require decompression stops on the way to the surface when SCUBA diving should not fly for
Why this is the answer
Per TC AIM-AIR (SCUBA Diving), after a dive that required decompression stops, supersaturated nitrogen raises the risk of the bends at altitude, so the pilot must wait 24 hours before flying. The shorter intervals apply only to shallow dives with no decompression stops.
