Packing a suitcase gear list

[scubadada]

I pack the same scuba gear in my suitcases for every trip. I pack it in the same places, in the same order. I never forget anything. After all the scuba gear is packed, I pack other things, clothes, food, etc. I nearly always have a 70 lb limit, it is very easy.

What luggage are you all using to check this in? I carry my DC and reg set on my carry on but need a good check in sized luggage for all my other gear. I don't mind spending money for something that will stand to the airline beating.

Backplate and regs in the rolling carryon.
Computers and lights (or anything else with a battery) go in the backpack with the laptop.
Wings, fins, cutting devices, stage rigging, wetsuit, spools, masks, clothing go in the lightest suitcase I can find. 23kg 50lbs is the limit.
I chose fins solely based on their ability to fit in my carryon, for when the suitcase is overweight.

Why carryon a backplate; it is not fragile. Same for a reg.

It is heavy and the regs are expensive.

You may want to rethink your strategy for a lot of overseas carriers....like with a 7kg or 10kg carry-on limit.
