Coming up with your packing list for your next big dive trip (or maybe even not so big) can be a big challenge. Whenever pulling together
scuba diving travel plans, this is far and away the biggest question I get. What should you pack? Do you rent or bring your own gear? The answers to these questions are largely dependent on a few factors not the least of which is your own personal preference. Here's some overall suggestions from my 18+ years of traveling the globe for that perfect dive.
Definitely bring:
- Certification card
- Dive log
- mask
- snorkel
- sunscreen
- swimsuit
- DAN card (this diver's insurance is an absolute MUST...don't leave home without it)
- safety equipment (ie. float, safety sausage, whistle, etc)
- basic mesh bag
- water shoes/flip flops
- seasickness medicine (recommend Triptone over all the others including the bands)
- Possibly bring (in priority order):
- fins
- wetsuit or dive skin
- dive computer
- regulator
- BC
- weight belts
- gear bag
