Question Can I Hand Carry My Scuba Diving Regulator on Cebu Pacific from Manila to Boracay?

[scubadiver15]

Hi everyone!

I’m planning a trip to Boracay and I’m bringing my scuba diving gear. I chatted with Cebu Pacific customer service, and they confirmed that I can hand carry my scuba diving regulator on my flight from Manila to Boracay.

However, I just want to make sure if anyone has done this before. If you have experience traveling with diving equipment on this airline, I’d love to hear about it! Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You have a severe weight limit for carry-on, I think. Regs are heavy.

7kg limit. Regs are fine.

Yup, but have you tried bringing it in your hand carry on a Cebu Pacific flight?

Had no problem. But watch the weight limit of your bag. I separate the 2nds from the first to make it fold up in my carry on easier.

Print out the email from Cebu Pacific as an insurance just in case.

This happened to me on a low fare carrier some years ago.
I'd added extra luggage when purchasing the ticket but at the counter, they denied till I showed them the purchase.

7kg is the official limited but......A small backpack and a small soft bag are far better than those stupid plastic trolley bags so common in any flight.
BTW, Cebu Pacific is NOT that straight nowadays.
If the flight is full they might even offer to check in your hand carry at the gate.
Regulator WAS not allowed as hand carry in Philippines few yrs ago but the ban has been lifted.

The final decision is with the check in staff.

A bit off subject but Philippine airlines did not allow me to carry on my reg on the last 3 international flights.
