Packing for our first scuba trip.
We've got soft sided rolling duffels to put our gear in (along with our other vacation stuff.)
Given that airline baggage handlers are not gentle with luggage, I want to do what I can to ensure my gear arrives intact.
The camera is going in the carry on. Spare batteries are going in the carry on. Dive computer going in the carry on. Masks have reasonably sturdy plastic cases, so they're going in the checked bags.
I'm considering putting our regulators in my carry on. The first stage is steel, and unlikely to break, but I worry about the plastic second stages and the attached integrated air transmitters.
Am I overly worried about the regs? Should I just wrap up the regs in some clothing, sandwich them between the BCDs, and arrange our fins around them to provide protection from bumps and squishing?
Any scuba gear packing trips you'd like to share?
