Customs

Please find a copy of the customs forms (it is only one page back and front) that you will be asked to fill out. Please fill them out on the plane (when the flight attendant passes them out) in order to facilitate your passing customs quickly. We have always found the customs officers quite friendly (no hassle types) so a quick smile goes along way. We are a leisure destination, so they are used to seeing a lot of camera equipment for all those divers that want to take underwater shots back home. Remember - NO DRUGS!
