I keep my gloves, defog, mask, and snorkel in an unstructured cloth purse. Keeps it from getting scratched and I have packed it a bunch of times. Having it out separately is also a good reminder to apply defog first.

That happened to me once in Mexico.I carried on my 3/8 lead shot bags and got stopped. The officer looked at the x-ray and said Bullets? When I said dive weights he just waved me through.BUT i did carry on 2 - 1lb shot bags last trip and naturally they look suspicious in the x-ray so had to prove otherwise

In Europe many airlines will try to make you fit the whole package is the luggage measurement toolI clip my fins to the outside of my backpack with a carabiner. Never had an issue. In fact last time I had fins, mask and a two fly rods all clipped to the outside of my backpack. No problems.
I carried it on. Wouldn't bag check anything that way.Having worked in the airport bag room and loading/unloading bags in the airplane's belly I have to tell you you're a lucky man.
As someone living in Europe, that's the reason I pull the stuff I can wear out of my bag before going through the checks and putting it on, afterwards I can just pack them back down.In Europe many airlines will try to make you fit the whole package is the luggage measurement tool
