- Logbook and certification card
Dive centres ask for your certification and logbook before you can dive.
- Pilgrim passport (credencial)

- Sleeping bag liner
Many mountain huts require one for hygiene. Light and small to pack.
- Snorkelling Kit
Mask, snorkel and fins as a set. Your own fit better than rented ones.
- Sports licences
Licences and certificates for diving, sailing, fishing, boats or golf. Without them you may not be allowed to take part.

For swimming and the beach. Take two so one can dry while you wear the other.
- Trekking poles
Take strain off your knees on descents and give you balance on rough trails.
- Walking boots
Sturdy boots with ankle support and a good tread for mountain trails. Break them in before the trip.
- Walking socks
Padded, quick-drying socks prevent blisters on long walks. Avoid cotton.
- Wet suit
Keeps you warm in cool water for surfing, diving or snorkelling. Rentals are often available on site.
