Re: Dive Equipment
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Thanks, Trent.

The USPS is more reliable on Culebra because, I don't know, it just is. The UPS and FedEx stuff gets hung up in "Customs" on the main island and then when it gets to Culebra there's one guy that retrieves it, and then you have to track him down to get it, etc. The USPS stuff just goes on the plane and comes over. I have never been able to figure out why UPS and FedEx think that Puerto Rico is a foreign country. Anyway, both dive operators on the island have excellent gear available. If I had to do it over again, I would travel without and use their stuff. If you do mail it, send it by Priority Mail, Insured (as if you wouldn't) and give yourself 3-5 days for arrival. Send it to yourself, c/o General Delivery, Culebra, PR 00775. Don't send it too early, or they will give you the evil eye in the post office if it sits around too long. Also, put your cell phone number on the outside of the package. We once, on a holiday or a Sunday (can't remember which) got a call to come get our stuff and NOW! So we DID! And we were happy and they were happy. They don't have the room for many large packages to sit around for too long. Best of luck!

Happy Diving!
Debbie
