After reading all of the "bring it in carryon" posts, I'll put in a vote for the oppsosite --- If I'm bringing enough stuff that I have to check any bag, then I'll put virtually everything in the checked bag(s). It makes the trip much more convenient by not having to haul junk through the airports, and you would have to wait for your other checked bag anyway.dadiver once bubbled...
What items are recommended to be carried on? As a note I will also be traveling with (2) two sets of gear (1) one Wife and (3) three Kids. I will definitely carry on our computers and Kids.
Properly packed, your reg will not have any problem in checked bags, nor will your dive computer. Most of the time I will even check my prescription mask. So far I haven't had any problem in the last 20 or so trips, and the one problem before that was simply a delayed bag that was brought to my hotel 4 or 5 hours after my arrival.
I always bring passport, cash and credit cards as carryon. Everything else (except the kids) is replaceable.
