5 Tips to prepare your next dive trip

Travel smart and optimise your scuba trip by planning ahead. Here are the five things you should do before you travel:

TIP 1

Email yourself your travel documents, passport, dive certification cards, etc. or store them on a cloud.

In case of loss, it is also much easier to print copies and get your necessary details.

Make sure you have a reliable scuba insurance cover coupled with your general travel insurance.

This is a must-have for any travelling diver!

Have your scuba gear serviced. This should be done once a year anyway and especially if you plan to travel.

Moreover, it may be expensive to replace gear once you are abroad.

Bring a few spares: fin and mask straps, batteries, mask, small torch, etc.

These might come in handy in case there is an issue with your main gear.

Plan an appointment with your doctor in order to get your medical dive form signed.

+ Ask a prescription for some basic medication such as motion sickness meds, probiotics, antihistamines, etc.

At the airport, on the plane or onboard M/Y OCEANOS, bring along anything you enjoy and/or that makes your life easier.

Here are a few hints:

✅ Load up your tablet with your preferred books or movies

✅ Get your latest scuba magazine

✅ Update your playlist with your favourite music

✅ Beauty sleep is important 😊 Think about ear plugs and sleep mask
