A simple question, but one I thought might be helpful, especially for such a gear intensive sport in the age of heightened security that restricts carry on items, reduces total weight allowed and number of bags allowed.
So, how many bags do you normally take on a dive vacation? What goes in your carry-on and what goes in the cargo hold? How much clothing and other 'stuff' do you take like books, mp3 players, sunscreen, towels, hats, etc.?
I tend to pack my reg/computer, BC, mask, fins and logbook in my carry on. My carry-on is the Oceanic At-Pak4 which has wheels, a large main compartment, and straps on the outside for securing fins. Wetsuit and non-essential gear like lights, knives, snorkel, cheap underwater camera, clothing and everything else goes in my large Akona bag in the cargo hold...
I go very minimal on clothes and toiletry items. Usually a small shaving kit, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. A couple of t-shirts thinking that I'll likely buy one on the trip, a couple of shorts, swimming trunks, sandals and a couple of polo shirts for dinner.
