Hey folks, recently I did a Great Barrier Reef trip, and had an UW housing, strobe and gear I had to put in a checked bag. (Qantas is DEATH on weight limits...be warned!) Anyway, went down to the Guitar Center and picked up a couple of those aluminum cases they make for record albums. Packed my camera gear inside, then put it in the bag to be checked. Nothing got broken.
Right now our local store has 'em for $30. Lightweight and the perfect size to pack camera gear, with an extra layer of protection in case suitcases get flung down the baggage belt upside down.
Was in the Guitar Center today, happened to remember this tip and thought I'd pass it on to my fellow divers. Happy New Year!
