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.
