How long do I have to wait to fly after scuba diving?
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after diving before going to altitude or flying to minimise the risk of decompression sickness. Altitude is defined as 300m/1000ft above sea level. This includes travelling to the Atherton Tablelands, Kuranda and taking the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway.
