• There is no local "narcoterrorism" threat at all
• Almost all crime is theft rather than violent crime
• Use common sense
  • Lock doors (house, car)
  • Don't leave valuables unattended
  • Don't let anyone but our maid and staff in the house (including your divemaster or that great guy you met at that place)

• This is for both your safety and ours (to prevent someone returning later to steal stuff)
• There are a few exceptions - tell us whom you'd like to invite and we'll let you know
• Police normally drive around with their lights flashing all the time
  • This does not necessarily mean they're responding to a crime or pulling you over

Weapons

Avoid carrying even pocket or dive knives around town, as these can be determined to be weapons.
