Packing List for Your First Dive Holiday

You do not need to own a full set of gear to enjoy a dive holiday. Here is what we recommend bringing, and what is better rented at the dive centre.

Bring

  • Your certification card and logbook (or the app)
  • A well-fitting mask — the single most personal piece of kit
  • Reef-safe sunscreen and a rash vest
  • A reusable water bottle and seasickness tablets

Rent

  • BCD, regulator and tanks — serviced after every dive
  • Wetsuit in the right thickness for the season
  • Fins, unless you already own a pair you love

The item everyone forgets

A copy of your dive insurance and medical declaration. Keep a photo on your phone and a printed copy in your bag.
