I saw a great little gadget that I thought was very interesting, especially when traveling with dive gear. It was introduced at the Las Vegas CES show this year and their web site says it will start being shipped in April.
Here is the link to their web site and blurb on how it works. Could be a trip saver if your luggage gets lost.

Trakdot Luggage Tracker
Trakdots a little thingy you put in your bags, tracking it with your smartphone if it gets lost, anywhere in the world. It goes to sleep when your luggage is in the air and then sends you a text when your bags and the plane theyre in have landed. This way youll know if your bag winds up in a different city than the one youre in. Itll cost $50 for the device itself, then another $13 a year to use it once it hits shelves in March.
Another cool feature. The Trackdot will ping your phone when your bag is 30 feet from you. That means you can do something else (read, watch a video, get a rental car, etc) while waiting for your luggage to arrive, instead of just staring at a conveyor belt for 10 minutes.
