Alright, super light packing, but I would still add:

hat
sunglasses

snorkel gear
camera and charger
passport
mobile phone and charger

It's funny, but I go back to my own packing list on the web page to figure out what's mising.

Cheers, RickG

Lots of good packing advice! I always wear the same outfit on the plane out and back. Take a pair of good tennis shoes if you plan on hiking. If your sandals can't double as water shoes, I'd advise them too - don't want to step on anything sharp. I roll my clothes tightly in my carry on. Don't forget your towel and have a blast!!!

I am a not quite recovered recovering overpacker. I really would love to go with all carryon but here is the problem. I always buy our suncreen at home because the selection is so much better and it is so much cheaper here. Being of the celtic persuasion we go through a lot of sunscreen. I also always take a first aid kit, bug spray and Benadryl gel for bites and...ashamed to admit....hair mousse and my favorite shampoo You can't carry any of that stuff on these days and it is so expensive to buy everything there.
I wonder what it would cost to ship a box of that stuff ahead.
