I just read an Elle (magazine) list of 10 things that you must pack for travel. Made me wonder what fellow scuba travelers feel are 'musts' for travel, as well as discover some new travel tips & tricks. I'm posting this in women's perspectives as I am hoping to hear about makeup, clothing, shoes - but also value what you men think as well.
I'll start. One of the things the article mentioned is a big leather bag for day trips. I have owned some big leather bags and I will never fill one of those things up again for a day trip - much too heavy. I prefer the lightest bag I can find - and will sacrifice fashion for function! I always bring a wide brimmed hat that I wear on and off the boat. I always have a pair of cozy socks in my carry-on & wear a sweater/jacket for when the plane gets chilly; Antibiotic ointment that has pain relief stuff in it - and band-aids; take pics of my passport and other important documents and send to an email so I can retrieve the info even if I lose my phone and documents; my first pic on my underwater camera is of a piece of paper that has my name and phone number on it (in case the finder is a good samaritan).
