What's most desired/needed item on an island that first comers often forget, aside from the usual travel pack items (as in sun block, etc..) ? There is much information on this forum, but I could not find any references to an ideal packing list for an expat on a temporary gig.
I am trying to visualize what my day to day life will be as a dive instructor working at a resort and pack appropriately. Obviously, I will have all my professional gear as well as usual travel pack, but since I've never been to an Atoll in Maldives, I could use an advice or two on what additional luxury item(s) that could come in handy for a year long gig.
An advice from someone who is currently doing, or has done, such a gig would be much appreciated (what to bring - both on professional as well as non-professional items)
Thank you.
