Personally I am longer in diving (1980-es), than around helicopters-1996., therefore know a bit of both worlds.

Also good friend of mine is local legendary tech diver who
remembers akvalung and closed oxy units from day zero.
(Custeau / Emile Gagnan), therefore he sourced for us
Abyss SW from time of initial development stage.....

Flight after diving must be planed and included in decom
tables or calculations. Old US Navy approach with only 4 types of body tissues is not safe enough.

We are still using one old version of above SW, now unfortunately not supported any more,
to calculate safe margins.
In principle, when you need to fly after dive, that is technical
diving.
Therefore you must left behind all kind of guessing games.

Some old versions can be sourced for "free" from WEB here:

Tip is to use max flight level like starting point for calculations. Time on surface after diving is like part of
your calculation decom.
In that case your divers are on SAFE side.

If you have some more questions will invite above friend, to participate here too
