V. What to wear

It is advisable to wear light clothing such as shirts and shorts because of the high temperatures and sometimes it can turn quite humid. If you’re going swimming, most of the people wear their swimsuits and their swimming gears. If you want to go diving, you can rent the suit and all the necessary equipments if you didn’t bring yours with you.
