your highest rating. Lost your card, need a replacement?

Logbook
- Make sure your logbook is up to date. Some dives
require experience and you will be required to show
proof.
Nitrox
C-Card
- If you are certified in Nitrox, be sure to have
your card. Many dive services around the world now
offer Nitrox.
Dive
Gear
- Pack all your dive gear except tanks and weights,
which are provided. Rentals for any items you may
not have are almost always available, but check in
advance.
Thermal
Protection
- What will the water temps be? How many dives will
you make each day? These are the things you must consider
in whether or not you will need skins, polartec, wetsuit,
or nothing at all.
Save-A-Dive
Kit
- Most locations have a dive shop or at least carry
a small amount of replacement parts, but many times
just for the major brands. You can save a lot of time,
effort and grief if you have o-rings, straps and other
minor parts available.
Spare
Batteries
- Spare batteries for dive light, camera and computer
is a great thing to have. Batteries have become so
specialized and varied, you do not want to spend all
your suface intervals searching for batteries. If
appropriate, take your battery charger.
Safety
Sausage, Whistle, Horn, Reflector - There are a number
of safety devices available to get the boat's attention
should you become seperated. Any of these would be
a great item to have clipped to your BC, just in case.
Insurance
Cards
- Be sure you have your medical insurance card (it
may or may not be any good at your destination), and
your dive accident insurance card. Dive accident insurance
are usually valid at any destination. Check out your
coverages in both instances.
Prescription
Medications
- Take prescription medications in their original
containers, with your name clearly marked. Take a
sufficient supply to last your entire trip and a little
extra just in case your trip is delayed.
