Other Gear

Lightweight long-sleeved shirt and pants (at least 1 pair each - quick-drying nylon is best)

Special dietary needs (will be difficult to locate in Placencia)

Light-weight rain gear (disposable poncho ok)

Dark, light-weight t-shirts

Polarized sunglasses. Sunglasses should fit tightly to block UVR from the sides and have lenses large enough to cover the entire eye area, including eye lids. Copper or amber are the best colors if you're only bringing one pair - color is irrelevant in terms of UV ratings.

Neoprene flats wading boots (for the flats)

"Broad spectrum" sunscreen containing zinc oxide, minimum SPF 15 rating (total sunblock isn't a bad idea for the first few days on the water)

Insect Repellent (Deep Woods Off)

Hat with a minimum 3" brim (check the hats offered by Watership Trading Company)

Prescription and over-the-counter medication (Placencia now has a pharmacy, but still best to bring your own)

Camera and film (film is expensive in Belize, bring plenty from home or bring your digital and rechargeable batteries and charger) (an underwater camera can also be fun - the disposables aren't bad, either)
