Your best after-shave. You never know who you're going to meet, right?
I forgot my snorkle.
Gloves - i get blisters from hydroid stings and as a photographer I got a lot of stings. Very prolific in Raja Ampat. Hydrocortozone.
Liquour cause I drank over $100 worth of beer and soda during 10 days. $3 per beer and $2 per soda.
Bring all your medication - over the counter and perscription. Are you alergic to mold? Some of the wood boats can have a bad case of it.
I did bring my 5mm full suit with old 5mm hood and was very comfortable the whole trip.

Sunglasses and hat (its sunny on the deck)
Medication (if needed) + ibuprofen/asprin
Spare parts (o-rings, mask strap or fin heel straps)
A nice book!
Plug adapter for recharging computer, cameras or battery charger

Im proposing to my girlfriend on this trip...meeting someone else isn't on my agenda..lmao
Congratulation...what a great spot to propose. I would love to see what you do to up beat this one on your 50th anniversary
BTW - I hope she does not read SB until after the proposal.
Hydration salts and Z-pac (Azithromycin) for you and your partner. Common stomach bugs in SE Asia are largely resistant to Cipro (Thank You India !!).

ImodiumAD or store brand equivalent - boy did I need that my last week there.
Sudafed - 12 hour or store brand equivalent - the good stuff that they need to see your license for purchase.
Aleve or store brand equivalent - cause repetitive diving may give your ears a little barotrauma and they will get inflamed. equalize, equalize, equalize - frequently and gently. I got in 53 dives in 3 weeks - only missed one opportunity due to my gut.
Six plug outlet without breaker fuse or light - just cheap strip. 220 volt will blow both and most battery chargers are dual voltage EXCEPT standard APPLE - ***they have an international version that you can buy. $40.
High pressure spindle O-rings and Wireless Air pressure transmitter O-ring (not in everyones o-ring kit) - had to replace my spindle o-rings on my high pressure guage.
Duct tape or some of that crazy tape that sticks to itself.
Propose early in the trip so she can wear the ring. Have her keep the ring covered if it is a huge sparkler as some fish think it may be something it would like to eat;-) - insure it.

My last live a board had a pharmacist as a guest. For those who don't know me, I usually order my waiter/watress' favorite meal. Well, we were eating at a Chinese place with some wonderful new friends who were vegans. So, I ordered what one of them had ordered. Before we left, I was in distress. Luckily, this pharmacist had the premium grade "stuff" that was better than Imodium on board. I made the last two dives because of it!
Now, i have a year's supply. I'm OK with that.Similar threads
