Air Travel and Dive Gear

[AandA]

I hear ya about the nail file and scissors. Last time we went down to Cozumel we ended up leaving a nail kit of my daughters, as she forgot it in her carry on. :

I think you’re probably on the money with regard to placing our regs, computers and cameras in our carry on. I think I might add our masks to that list, especially the mask for my wife. Her mask has prescription lenses and would be a real problem to replace down there.

Since you freedive maybe you could answer another question…..Do those long bladed free diving fins really make a difference. I snorkel/freedive too. I currently use the same fins I use for SCUBA a pair of rather old vented rocket style fins. I’ve always thought they serve me quite well but have not really ever tried much else. In addition to the SCUBA down in Cozumel I’m also looking forward to doing a lot of snorkeling/freediving (not after the SCUBA). Last time we were down there I had an absolute ball diving the wall at Palancar and diving C-53 where I went down to the bottom. Let me know about the freediving fins.
Thanks again,
