Diving is dehydrating – especially in tropical heat. Dehydration contributes to decompression sickness, fatigue and cardiovascular stress. To make up for water lost while diving, drink a gallon of water each day.

Before you leave, lay out all your dive gear and position items in relation to how you will wear them. Starting with the last item you will need, begin packing your bag. Wrap your fins in a towel and pack flat on the bottom or side of your bag. Always pack your mask, regulator, dive computer and other sensitive equipment in their protective cases.
