I'll be visiting Caye Caulker this November for 2-3 days of diving (at the end of a 2-wk trip to Belize & Tikal). I'm going to bring my own mask & snorkle but am wondering if I should also bring my own dive gear or just rent equipment there (i.e., fins, dive computer, etc.)

Can anyone tell me what the quality and variety of the rental gear is like on Caulker? In particular, I'm curious:

• Are open-heel fins available for rent or just step-in/full-foot fins?
• Are 3mm full suits available for rental? Yes, I will need one—I get chilled within 20 min in an 80 deg swimming pool!
• How likely are they to have small sizes? I'm a petite woman: 5'1", 105lbs, size 5.5/6 shoe (US)

Thanks in advance for any info & advice you can give me!

Thanks Greggo. Having done most of my traveling pre-Internet, I'm not accustomed to places I'm visiting having websites. Thanks for reminding me it's 2014 and I can contact them directly!
