It isn't the space, it's the weight.

Travel? you mean by air?

what happens if the airlines lose your luggage and all the expensive equipment in it? International airline liability is a paltry $640. Do you buy extra insurance that covers the items?

I have a rider on my homeowners insurance policy. If they loose my luggage, I'm more screwed in the how to get/rent good dive gear cheap and fast department.
So far, all our dive travel has been in my truck, so we pack all our own gear (except for tanks, which we don't own yet).
When we fly to Fiji in 5 months, we will take everything except weights and tanks. From what we have been advised by folks who have gone to this resort before, the best idea is to take only a couple of changes of clothing, and let the resort staff do our laundry for us. Our LDS makes at least two trips to this resort each year, and they say the luggage space is best utilized with dive gear rather than a different outfit for every day. They also suggest making sure we have some extra luggage space for bringing home souvenirs.
It makes sense to me; we're going over there to dive, not participate in any fashion shows.
