Air Travel and Dive Gear

[freedivernd]

pocket knife, scissors, tweezers, etc. or they'll pull 'em from you. I wouldn't be to concerned about packing all the dive gear in checked bags.. maybe not the computers. On a charter with no flight changes your stuff will get to where you're going, on a commercial that is not always the case.. then I'd carry on stuff I definety want to have when I arrive. Some folks like to carry on the regulators and I guess if I was going to carry on anything, it would be the regs and computers. I finally found a good way to pack my carbon fiber fins now so I don't carry those on anymore.
other things - carry on your cameras and film, high speed film 800+ be leary about sending it through the x-ray..(don't), carry on necessary medications, bottled water is nice to have, and so are some snacks like fruit bars or similar. I also like to carry on a small flashlight.
Carry on is a pain, but our last trip we each had small backpacks and that's been the best carry ons so far.. and usefull when we were there.
