The most important precaution to take if one is looking for diving experiences is not to travel to higher altitudes for 12 hours after completing your dive.
Similarly if you have travelled from a higher altitude or have taken a flight, wait for 12 hours before your first dive.
Informing the dive centre about your plans will help the diving instructor to choose a suitable diving spot for you.
