What to Pack

Swimming costumes (towels are provided), sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, reef shoes if you want to walk out on Catseye Beach at low tide, smart casual attire for dining out, your medical certificate if you are planning on learning to dive or your Dive Certificate if you want to do more advanced diving.

The weather on the island is usually warm and balmy but because we're an island we get a lot of cross-breezes and evenings can get cool. So we 'layer dress' - bring a lightweight jacket or cardigan, or a few extra long sleeved t-shirts or shirts so you can add extra light layers if you need to.
