Anyone have any "hindsight is 20/20" tips they'd like to share?
I'm heading to Utila later this year to get my OW & AOW certifications. I did a discovery dive earlier this year that impressed upon me the value of a dry bag. Any other items I may want to bring along that I'll be glad of later? The operator (Utila Dive Center) provides all equipment, and I don't have the experience to know what would be best for me yet in any case, so I'm not concerned with that.
I did find the 3mm suit on my discovery dive in St. Barth to be awfully warm for a Northern girl in March. I wouldn't be surprised if the same were to be true for Honduras in November - chilly for a local, but HOT for someone used to cooler climes. I've seen cheap lycra full body "skins" on Amazon. Would something like this be worth taking along to use in lieu of a thicker suit?
Thanks!
