Equipment/Other Charges

• $200 for snorkeling equipment (you can share books and borrow equipment, but make sure your snorkeling equipment fits you well, or you’ll get blisters on your feet from ill-fitting fins and water in your mask from ill-fitting masks)
• $100 for a skinsuit or wet suit jacket. Skinsuits are light, full-body suits that will help you avoid getting burned by the sun and getting stung by fire coral and other poisonous underwater hazards, while wet suits will provide warmth if you get cold in the water easily. This is an optional purchase.
• $300 spending money for souvenirs, ferry tickets, etc. This would also include taxi rides to/from town during personal time.
• $300 for food. You can save a lot of money by not eating out every night. Most students bring lots of food with them.

Variable Total: $900

Summary: You can expect to spend about $3400 on this trip and for the class (and a once-in-a-lifetime experience!).
