I don't scuba dive, but just know that you're not supposed to dive and fly, or is it fly and dive, no wait, drink and dive! ... or is it... ah heck, nevermind.

The standard rule of thumb is that you should avoid flying 24 hours after diving. I've been diving on Nitrox for years and it theoretically gives you a little leeway. I've flown 14 hours after a dive with no problem. There are current studies being made with respect to this and the general thought is that 24 hours is too long.
