I am going to Curacao in April and am looking for advice and suggestions for traveling. I will be meeting up with a dive group so the diving will be planned by the group leaders, but this will be my first time travelling outside of the US as well as first time flying with my gear. I will be traveling alone, so needless to say, I am quite nervous having never gone through customs before.
I have already found some good advice for packing my gear. My plan is to pack my regulator/computer, mask and camera in my carryon. In my checked bag will be my BC, wetsuit, fins/booties, O2 analyzer and accessories (lights, SMB, etc.) Also, planning on carrying on a laptop backpack (as my personal item).
A few specific questions:
1) Should I leave the batteries in my computer and camera flashes? How should I transport loose batteries (I will be bringing spares if possible)?
2) Will I need adapters to plug things in to the wall outlets?
3) What kind of currency will I need? Are credit cards accepted?
4) What's the best way of calling back to the US? My parents will be expecting me to check in daily since I have never left the country before and I don't want to go broke callling them.
Any other info any of you may have will be greatly apprieciated!
