Why is scuba diving not allowed 24 hours before and after this flight?
Flying too soon after an underwater descent, puts divers at risk for decompression sickness. DCS can happen when one experiences a significant atmospheric pressure change within a short period of time; in this case rapidly going from a scuba dive to a high altitude. Therefore, scuba diving is not allowed 24 hours before or after a flight.

This tour was worth every penny. Waikiki pickup was prompt, service was great, and the company was very safe. Nathan, our pilot, was a wonderful tour guide full of knowledge and humor, and made the 50-minute tour amazing. We would 100% do this tour again with Magnum Helicopters.

Evan was a great pilot and made sure we were comfortable.
He told jokes and shared history of Oahu with us.

Response from Cloud 9 Living
Good Afternoon Rachel!
I hope you had a great weekend and an amazing time in Hawaii! I appreciate you taking the time to write in and tell us about your doors off experience! This is absolutely at the top of my bucket list the pictures look incredible but I am sure they do not do it justice. Had you ever been in a helicopter before? What was the most interesting fact Evan shared with you? I do hope we see you again for another fun day out and thank you for letting us be apart of the memory.
All the best,
Chelsea
