Re: Bringing gear via air – If you have your own travel dive bag, that’s the ideal way to fly with gear. Usually (for warm water destinations), I can fit my fins/boots/shorty/BCD/reg/mask/snorkel/comp./clothes in a carry-on suitcase, but then again, I’m small and have developed super +20 packing skills. I too would recommend only bringing mask/snorkel/fins/comp. and renting the rest, especially if you are worried about space.
Oh, and if you do end up bringing your own neoprene gear (wetsuits/booties), I HIGHLY recommend you pick up some anti-suit-stink liquid. Your nose will thank you. Your cabinmate will thank you. Your ship neighbors will thank you. Trust me. 🙂
@strwbryicecream Andy and I are going to wait until it’s a bit closer to go time before we get serious about choosing a dive outfit. However, it does look good and is definitely a contender for us.
