Please list the lightest equipment for traveling to far away places, we all know what a pain it is to pack that heavy stuff. Fins?, BC?, anything else you can think of?

There have been a lot of threads on this topic fairly recently, perhaps inspired by airlines becoming progressively more difficult about luggage. I'll contribute a piece of non-gear that is great for traveling light and requires no compromise:
Amazon.com: Samsonite Black Label Cosmolite 20" Carry on Spinner Luggage - Silver: Everything Else
These suitcases are incredibly light, seem reasonably sturdy, and have good handles and wheels. I have two 27-inchers for checked baggage and the 20-incher for carry-on.

For regs, I can recommend the ScubaPro S600/Mk25 combo in titanium! And they're gorgeous to boot.
And they are S I G N I F I C A N T L Y lighter.

The ZUMA BC from AquaLung are only 4.4 lbs and very comfortable. I love it!!!

The lightest gear is rental gear awaiting you at the destination. 
Aqualung Zuma BC as posted above and Aqualung Hotshot fins are light, short and work very well. If money were no object the Atomic Ti2 regs would make some great travel regs, but I find my Atomic B2 with miflex hoses light enough. Another option is the Apeks Flight regs which are very lightweight.
I also like Aqualungs travel bag which holds fins, BC, reg with a little room to spare for clothes, dive skin and the like. Built for carry on and so far it has held up.
