On the FAA website, I came accross something very specific to dive lamps:
(14) Electrically powered
heat producing articles (e.g.,
battery-operated equipment
such as diving lamps and
soldering equipment) as
carry-on baggage only and
with the approval of the
operator of the aircraft. The
heat producing component, or
the energy source, must be
removed to prevent
unintentional functioning
during transport.
How Bizarre. I just remove batteries and stick in checked luggage. I know some divers don't remove batteries, which strikes me as - can't think of a nice way to say it...
Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!
>> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??
