Craigus once bubbled...
We're going to Coz over Christmas and New Years. It's our first trip to Mexico. I read the Customs Declaration that we are required to submit when entering Mexico, and it appears that many things we divers bring with us are not covered in the exemptions. Should I expect any hassle about this?
Many thanks! Let's get wet!

Nope. Nada. I think maybe you misread the meaning of "exceptions," a word usually used in dealing with import taxes. Since the only things you'll probably leave in Mexico are trash and money, not applicable.
Not sure about your meaning, though? Look at this site, then give us the quote that bothers you, okay:

Do not bring Food (fisish the trail mix on the plane), plants, animals, and
certainly no firearms!! Be sure to pack all knives in checked luggage, and frisk yourself at the airport before security to see if you forgot a pen knife. :nono:
Might go to your airlines web site and check about prohibitions in checked luggage, but there's no problems with most dive gear, other than maybe CO2 cartridges (can't spear fish there anyway), flares, O2 bottles, pony bottle with air pressure (Delta allows 40 pounds, but I drain mine completely). You have anything in partiuclar you're concerned about?
BTW, do not put tap water in your mouth for any reasons :brushteet and pour listermint mouthwash over your reg and snorkel mouthpieces after rinsging. I don't even trust their bottled water, treating water myself in my room (supplies from sporting goods stores), and I take stomach meds just in case.
have fun,
