Gear list

THE LIST

Note: Required items are BOLDED


 

1) Passport (required : *must be valid & 6 months or more from expiration *  no visa needed  for US citizens)

2) Beach Towel

3) Terrestrial Flashlight 

4) Snorkel gear – mask, snorkel, fins

Masks should be tested  for fit.  A mask fits if it can be held in place by creating a vacuum between

mask and face.  Try it on to make sure it is a good fit.  Perhaps even test it out in a pool.

Masks are available through most dive shops with prescription lenses- when you

travel all this way doesn’t it make sense to see everything?  But an old spare pair of glasses with

arms are broken off can sometimes be put into a mask.

EXTRA TIPS

  • Pack your carry on so that you have what you need for a day or two if the airline “misplaces” your bags.
  • Pack mask and snorkel in your carry on bag, maybe even your fins if they fit.
  • If diving: Bring SCUBA gear, excluding tank and weights.
