Can I wear aqua shoes in my fins or are booties necessary. Even if I am wearing a wetsuit.

How long should I be out of the water from my dive before I catch a flight home.

You can wear aqua socks but you will probably find them to be uncomefortable. It causes me blisters.

Get the dive boots because they give your foot added protection when walking. Also, if you are boat diving the non-slip sole will definitely help you remain more stable.

Booties will definitely be more comfortable. And, as for flying, most agencies and computers recommend a full twenty-four hours after diving.
