Do not forget to carry courtly clothes for the nights out or when seeing historical and religious places.

Besides basic article of clothing, you’ll need other outfits that you might require while diving. Carry your bathing suits and swimming trunks and carry at least 3 or 4 of them. Also carry water resistant jacket and life vest for you never know when you may land in an emergency situation. And most of all, carry right dive gear. You may also get one at the dive site but if you are planning on taking your own diving equipment, be sure it is in correct working order. Better get it maintained and checked properly. Or you can also pick a new one if your old scuba gear is already in ruinations.

Decide where you will be going for your diving holiday. If you don’t have many days at hand for a holiday, plan a trip to dive sites that aren’t very far away from your urban center or your country. If you have enough time, you can go miles and across the continents to dive sites in the most exotic destinations. The amount you can splurge on a holiday also pays a key role in the choice of a diving club. Diving Clubs in the European countries are much expensive than the ones in Asia.

Find out about sharks and dolphins that dwell in the area, the coral reefs, bottom dwellers etc. Again, rely on the internet to look for such data.

Some beaches are home to lots of worms. Mosquitoes and other parasites are common in many coastal areas; therefore it is better to carry insect repellents. Also carry a first aid kit and a small toolkit with the basic instruments. Don’t forget your Cam and binocular back home; you’ll regret big time not having them at the dive site. Along with that, you can also carry your mini laptop computer for surfing the net savoring the cool seaside breeze.
