 Bob at the wheel -hat and
sunglasses with skipper. by grandmaR
HAT. Deck shoes (flat, with good wet grip capabilities and white non-marking soles) Several swimsuits because you don't want to sit around in the wet suit - you will get a rash. Cover-up for swim suit. Raingear. Knit shirts or T-shirts. Shorts or khaki pants. Sundresses.
SUNSCREEN. Bug stuff. Any medications that you need. Normal shampoo, deod. soap, and toothbrushing stuff that you normally use. Extra prescription glasses.
Forget makeup and hair dryers.
At the time I didn't have a digital camera. I took two regular film cameras, and a dive camera, but snorkeling cameras are also useful. Plenty of film - it will be bright on the water so take appropriate speed film for your camera. Camera batteries. Also I brought mailers so I could mail the film home to be developed from St. Thomas and it wouldn't have to go through the airport screening again.
Sunglasses. . Diving gear if you have your own - I brought dive skins, a dive light, a mask with diapters (because I wear bifocals), my PADI card, and dive record book. A small flashlight. A sweater and sweatshirt for cool evenings.
Material for a written log. Passport (useful checking in to the BVI, and now required for checking back into the US). Hand mirror, calculator, addresses and stamps for writing home. Leave a Comment

Really!! Mosquitos are out even during the day, so my first day I got so many mosquitos bites that it was not funny at all!!! They eat you alive there!!! Anywhere and anytime you need the Mosquito Repellent!!
Also, I guess there is no need to say: Bring sunblock!!! The sun there is a killer!! It hurts!!
I would suggest you to bring your own Snorkel equipment. Some beaches don't have a rental place nearby. Leave a Comment
