Q: Should i bring my own wet-suit for water sports?
A: Nah, the water is so hot that you will not need any.

Q: Do I need a new cell phone and how about the service and SIM-card?
A:  Any GSM cell phone will work. The easiest and cheapest thing to do is to buy a new SIM-card and add credits as you go (Top Up-service) . A company called Digicel provides this service, and you can buy Top Up credits nearly everywhere. Remember that your phone cannot be SIM-locked and that you will get a new local number. Also, remember to bring an adapter for your power chrager.  Read more about the subject here.

Q: What kind of power plugs do they use n Barbados?
A: 115V, 50 Hz. North American plugs will get you powered! See picture below (see http://www.adaptelec.com/ for more)

Q: Can I use my Mastercard/Visa card in Barbados?
A: Yes, you can withdraw cash in any bank and even some gas stations. They take any major card type. I encourage you to have at least two cards in case one fails or you reach the monthly withdrawal limit – it happened to me. Remember Barbados is expensive.
