- Deep Sea Divers Den recommends waiting a minimum 24 hours whenever possible.

This includes going to the Atherton Tablelands, so be careful when you are booking tours to follow your dive course/trip.
Under normal circumstances, you should be out of the water on your last dive at 12pm (midday), this should help with organising any travel plans you have after your dive trip with us.
If possible please bring small soft bags aboard our vessels and put large suitcases into storage.
We do have storage facilities at our shop, however these are not locked during work hours.
We suggest leaving valuables at your accommodation whenever possible.
