    THey drive on the WRONG side of the road there! It's a bit scarey the first time a car comes at you from the right! Actually, it was a bit scarey the whole week! Plus, the turn indicators are on the wrong side of the steering wheel----which resulted in us having the cleanest windshield on the island!

    While we were there, crabs were running all over the place! It made it a little interesting trying not to hit them while driving! Some of them were quite large---makes you wonder how they lived to get so big! There were also a lot of tiny ones, like this one.

  • Don't forget to put sunscreen lotion, and drink plenty of fluids.
    When diving - don't touch anything. You may encounter sharks, but they usually run away before you get a glimpse at them.
    During the hurricane season you may need to go to a hurricane shelter.

    Watch out for the giant crabs that wander the road at night. They can pop your tires. Also be aware that you will be driving on the opposite side of the road and the opposite side of the car. Yikes!

  • As with many tropical locations, use sunscreen liberally during the day and bug spray in the twilight/evening hours.

  • If you're a relatively new diver, as we were (actually we were just certified 2 days before our trip), be sure to go with a divemaster. We went out on our own & I got some bad equipment. Actually at 60 feet, my reg stopped working & I had to buddy-breathe to the top. It didn't stop us from diving however - we've dove many, many more times & are glad we did. Just be careful - go with a reputable dive outfit such as Fisheye. The divemasters & instructors were good but the people working in the shop need to brush up on their customer service skills.

  • Look out for the big crabs that run across the street in the middle of the night! (They're not even near the beach!!)
