I'm sure this is a standard post, but I do have some specific questions.
Next month, I will be taking my first trip to Mexico. I'm planning on taking my gear (minus weights and tank). When we were setting this trip up, the travel agent asked if I was bringing my equipment and said something about setting this up so it can be stowed in a special compartment. What I think she told me is that I can have the standard 2 bags checked plus my gear bag. Does this sound correct? Yes, I need to follow up with the agent.
At first, my plan was to carry my reg set with me as a carry on, but now I'm hearing that if it has a compass I can't do this because it has "liquid" in it and it will have to be checked. Does this sound correct?
While we are on the subject, what is the best way to travel with your equipment? I have a mesh bag, but sure I'm going to have something that is more rigid.
Any advice for a newbie would be great.
