Well we are getting so close to the INVASION!!!!!
I thought we could touch base on some of the great ideas that everyone had on preparing, packing, travel, and dive tips. For some this is old hat, so share your knowledge.
I’ll get things started…
DON'T FORGET These Items!
Airline tickets/info for going and return flights
Passports (I also make a copy of it and put it in my carry on)
Driver’s License or if you don’t have one, some other form of picture ID.
Certification Cards (Down load Dive Paradise form and fill it out ahead of time)
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/invade-cozumel-june-12-19-2011/376692-dive-paradise-website.htmlDAN and Health Insurance Cards
Credit Cards (call you card company, let them know when and where you’ll traveling)
(Some CC company charge an extra fee for transactions when out of the country)
Small Bills (1’s, 5’s, 10’s and 20’s go a long way)
Prescription Medication (keep it in the prescription bottle with your name on it)
Over the counter medications that you may need
(You can find a lot of the same products in Cozumel, but the packaging may look different and the instruction will probably be in Spanish)
Sunscreen (biodegradable if possible for the coral reefs health)
Sunglasses (polarized are better for gazing into the water)
Hats
Bug spray (if the bugs find you tasty)
I like to be organized (can’t you tell) so I have a travel checklist on file that I printout. That way, I don’t have to think too much about remembering what I need. The list includes everything that might be needed. If somethings on the list don’t apply to this trip, I just cross it off. I also include things to do like stopping the mail, newspaper and calling the credit card companies.
I'm going to the Invasion. Are you?
Jump in with the rest of the crew while space is still available!
