Yes, me again!
I wonder if there is anyone on the forum who can answer a very specific question:
What would be an established altitude maximum for LOW LEVEL flights (500 ft, 1000 ft, 2000 ft,...) after diving. All I can find on the net deals with rest-times before airline travelling, military test, etc.
All these texts deal with cabin pressure alt of 5000 ft and more (8000 ft standard airline cabin pressure). But nothing on safe altitudes for flights IMMEDIATE after diving or few hours (1-4 hrs) rest-time.
Case at hand: I had/have to fly a set of divers to a search mission. Immersion times of 1 hour / 4 X day for a total of about 4 hrs - max depth about 75 ft or 20 m at any time possible.
They requested transport after diving at no more than 500 ft MSL (the search is done at sea level). Problem at hand is that I have to refuel at a location where I might scratch hills if I maintain 500 ft all the way....
Total flight time is about 2hrs.
Anyone flying with rescue-equipments that use divers?
I appreciate your help!

PS: As it is a medical question I will post a copy over at "medical", however there may people working with helicopters in exactly this environment.....
