US plugs are two or three pin flat, despite what others have posted.

US plugs are typically 2 pin flat. There are some which are 3 pin (centre pin round and two flat pins) but for your purposes a 2 pin flat adapter is fine

U.S. is Type A or Type B

Electricity around the world: everything about plugs, sockets, voltages, converters, etc.

Hi 7, 2 pin flat for the US and if you took out that huge torch and heavy fins you could take your own generator

Have a good 'un

Safe diving,
Steve

Thanks Steve, your advice is much appreciated as normal

However the big torch was never going anyway and the fins are non negotiable.

I am expecting to be charged for excess baggage, if I was sensible I would prebook some and get the discount, but as I am not I am going to take the chance they are nice to me
