A Question for Anyone who has traveled by plane with their Dive gear....

Even if it was the same price or slightly more, I wouldn't lug weight that I didn't need to.

Aly if the waves in Fla. knock you down I would consider giving up beach diving & stick with boats.

I DO NOT give up. I dont care if it takes me 1000 tries before i get it down pat. I will succeed

you guys were wrong...I should have brought my weights. I went to the diveshop this afternoon to rent some and.....They only had 12 lbs on had (I need 18). I had to buy some weights out here

 

[FishNut]

That sucks. Told ya that they had bad lead

You should of tried to find another dive shop, I can't believe the didn't have more than 12 lbs that's very surprising.

bugger - what a poor performance from the dive shop if it has so little hire weights on hand

on the plus side - you only have to schlep 6lbs home instead of the round trip

Wow... let me see if I understand this. You could only find 12 lbs. to rent, but someone had 6 lbs you could buy? I hope it wasn't the same shop. If it is, sounds like a rip-off.

Overall, don't sweat the small stuff... glad you're there, safe, hopefully having fun, and doing some diving.

Hope the rest of your trip is a blast!

I told you to take your weights with you. You can't trust that Florida weights.

Now, be honest, are you trying to pull something over us? Be honest!!!

And how much did that weight cost you versus how much the airline would have charged you to take it with you?

And where are you that there is only one dive shop around? You must not be where the good Florida diving is because there's tons of dive shops there.
