Hi everyone,
I'm heading to Cayos Cochinos for a few weeks and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations or suggestions. I've never been to Honduras before and I've only been diving in Costa Rica, so I'm pretty excited for a change of above-/underwater scenery.almtree:
Since I'll be there for 3 weeks and diving quite frequently, it's probably best to invest in some gear. I definitely want to get fins and a mask, as I've always had problems with rentals in the past. The guy from the resort suggested I get a wetsuit, which makes sense b/c I definitely don't want to be in...whatever goes on in rentals...lol. Those, I think, are the most important things for me to have, unless anyone can think of something else? As for where to purchase this stuff, should I try and find a dive shop so I can try them on or is online safe? Any recommendations of brands? I've always borrowed so I don't know what is too expensive, or what brand is the Gucci of diving suits, but I'd like to get something that's not cheap, but not crazy expensive.
If anyone has been to PBR personally, do you have any suggestions on anything else I should bring or that I don't need to bring? I've heard the mosquitoes are bad, so I'll plan on packing my Deet. Anything else?
I'll take any advice or suggestions available...even if it's a recommendation on a certain drink! I appreciate all of it!
Thanks everyone for reading! I can't wait for this trip...it's much needed!
Cheers,
Heather
