• Currently the rules state that for a single no decrompression dive, you should not fly/go to altitude for at least 12 hours.
• For multiple dives you should not fly/go to altitude for at least 18 hours.
• Dive Directory recommends waiting a minimum 24 hours whenever possible.

These are guidelines only, there is no guarantee that these recommendations will prevent decompression sickness. Currently there are no guidelines regarding diving after flying.

Altitude is 300m/1000ft above sea level. This includes going to the Atherton Tablelands for example, so be careful when you are booking tours to follow your dive course/trip.
