Other items should include those materials you normally use. These may be band aids, aspirin, antacid, cortisone or Benedryl, aloe, ear drops, personal medications, anti-fungal powder, nasal spray, antihistamines, tea tree oil, and feminine hygiene items. If you plan to do a lot of snorkeling, you may want to bring your own gear. Fins are bulky and not very useful in many river sites. All snorkeling gear can be rented for nominal fees from dive shops on Caye Caulker.
Gloves encourage people to handle coral and other marine organisms.
Handling coral is forbidden as it kills the polyps and opens the colony up to possible infections. Two lights with spare batteries and bulbs are recommended. A head light is very handy during cave float trips, reading and plundering through your gear at night. Pocket Knife A camp-style knife with assorted tools is very useful. Not only are they potentially dangerous and unnecesary, but you could end up spending a lot of time chatting with the authorities at the airport.
