I am cruising Royal Caribbean very soon. I have a dive excursion in Aruba booked thru the cruise line, and will be diving the Antilla wreck.
I'm bringing my 2.5 mil wetsuit and all other gear is provided. I want to bring my own regulator and computer. Does anyone know if the dive operators allow you to bring your own equipment???

You'll probably be diving with Red Sails. They won't care. The line at the rental gear shack is pretty long and no one will really care what you're using.
FYI - if your Royal Caribbean ship has a PADI dive shop on board (a few of them do), sometimes they will let you rinse your gear in their sinks.
You can most certainly bring any of your own gear.

I dived my own gear of NCL and RC.
Reg bag, and my bpw with flipped straps, and my fin bag turned into a backpack.

Wifey and I are cruising on the Emerald Princess out of LAX on April 5th that will experience the Solar Eclipse and continue through the Panama Canal to Florida. I setup diving in Huatulco, Mexico with Hurricane Divers and Grand Cayman with Deep Blue Divers but Cartagena, Columbia is a challenge. Due to odd port time from 10am to 5pm, there's no normal dive trips available. I found Paraiso Dive that will arrange a private trip for the wife and I, but the cost will be much higher than the normal $135 2tank with gear dive cost per person. Looking for 2+ divers to get the cost down to normal rate.
You can also post on cruisecritic.com to see if anyone else wants to dive. If you're not familiar with Cruise Critic, you'll need to create an account, then go to their Boards section, then go to the Roll Call for your particular cruise (it's sorted by cruise line then departure date).
