What is the required waiting time before going ziplining after scuba diving?

The recommended waiting time before engaging in activities such as ziplining after scuba diving is 24 hours. This guideline is primarily based on the need to allow the body sufficient time to off-gas any nitrogen that may have been absorbed during the dive. When a diver ascends to the surface too quickly after diving, nitrogen bubbles can form in the bloodstream, which can lead to decompression sickness if the body is subjected to additional pressure, as it would be when ziplining, especially at heights or during rapid movement.

Allowing a full day gives the body enough time to eliminate excess nitrogen, thereby reducing the risk of health complications. This precaution ensures that individuals remain safe while enjoying adventure activities following their time underwater.
