 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.

 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.
