Comments Get to the airport very early when leaving and remember that there is a fee to be paid before going through security gates and it must be paid in cash. Return the rental car the day before departure to return home to avoid the wait at the airport for personnel to arrive and check your car in. Rent a car for sure. Do the shore diving. If with a non-diver or someone who wants to take off time from diving, do a 2-tank dive in the morning and regroup after you finish your dive in the morning. Allows the other to sleep in and the dive takes you directly from hotel. Consider booking a 1-tank per day dive prior to arriving so that the boats don't fill up. I think you could add a dive in the morning if you wanted to get to a 2-tank morning boat dive. The shore diving is much more fun and should not be missed. Do not book a bone fishing trip on this island. It is not worth the money.
