Luggage And Bags: We stayed at a hotel so bringing our regular luggage was fine. We made a point to bring only one bag each and A BACKPACK!!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Island clothing prevails in this climate. Shorts, tank tops, sports bras, bathing siuts, sarongs, hats, flip flops and plenty of sunblock are essential.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Things we brought that were helpful: Wet-naps (to periodically freshen up with), washcloths (for sweating), bug spray, mini-first aid kit, SUNBLOCK, any type of good lotion or aloe for sunburns.
Photo Equipment: Bringing your own cameras/video cameras is fine. When we were on our snorkel tour and also when traveling on the boats, we we concerned that our cameras would be damaged. We kept a close eye on them at all times and we were fine. Some people opted to rent cameras, so as to not damage their own. We also rented an underwater camera/videocam for around $35USD. This turned out to be one of the best purchases on the entire trip!!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: The day we took the WWII tour on Pelilu we wore our sneakers - which is imperative for the hiking. Also, bringing our own snorkel gear made a difference (including our anti-fogging gel).
Miscellaneous: FYI: After our all day snorkel tour, I was suffering for classic "tennis elbow". My elbow joints were killing me all night. Eventually my husband took a taxi to the local grocery store and bought me some "ben gay" type gel. I'm just letting you all know that this might be something you should consider bringing if you are susceptible to this.
