So far as I am aware, there are no recorded instances of anyone dying as a result of flying after Scuba diving.

However, it is widely recognised that flying creates in increased risk of decompression sickness, and there are plenty of divers who have suffered minor DCS incidents on aeroplanes.

This is why divers are always recommended to wait at least 12 (and preferably 24) hours after finishing a dive before they fly.
