which may be of interest and will be of help when booking your dive
holiday.
Port Douglas is surrounded by rainforest clad mountains of high
altitudes. Please remember the no dive/fly rule when booking your
accommodation immediately after your trip. If you stay on the
Tablelands, or Cape Tribulation, travelling 300m above sea level,
you will be limited as to whether you wish to do the final two dives
on the last day.
