    Traveling with gear on airplane.

    RICHinNC, Are you saying the airlines have a additional charge for dive gear even if it’s not over or exceeding any weight/size limits? Do you know what the charge is and who determines if you are going to be charged? Thanks for the information.

    Modifying a wetsuit
