DOMESTIC TRAVEL
One of the benefits of domestic travel is that it can be more spontaneous and cost efficient than
international travel. Knowing how to get and stay prepared for even a short ride to the nearest
coast, lake, or quarry can help make your local trips easier, safer and more enjoyable.
GET PREPARED:
Create a packing checklist based on your typical dives.
Maintain your gear so you can grab it and go.
Assemble a first-aid kit and a save-a-dive kit.
Keep your relevant certifications up to date.
BEFORE YOU HIT THE ROAD:
Research the weather, currents, and water temperatures at your destination.
Customize your packing checklist for this specific trip.
Check — and if necessary replenish — your first-aid kit.
Tell someone where you are going.
Remember to bring plenty of water and healthy snacks.
