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

[Centrals]

I do not travel with my regulator in hand carry, because I think it’s fragile- I do it because it’s damn expensive and my insurance will not cover if suitcase got lost.
In my carry on I always have: regulator, mask, dive computers, swim suit and small toiletries (this way we can still dive, even if the rest don’t show)

Wow!
What kind of travel insurance does not cover lost of checked bag? How about damage during the transit? Do they rely on the airline or your own personal insurance, house hold, to compensate for that?
Your insurance also does not cover Sipadan if my memory is correct.

I have not traveled anywhere in the Phils, but I recall reading with interest/amusement some old threads in which it was said that airlines there prohibited regulators in carry-on because they could supposedly be used as some kind of weapon.

Yup a hose and a blunt force weapon it can be. I asked them about my sports shoes laces and they looked at me with bewilderment.

I use sports shoe laces as the lanyard for my camera to my boltsnap. I showed them how to make laces into a garrot to strangle someone to death. They look at me like this does not compute. But a small screwdriver 3 inches long has to go in checked luggage as it could be a weapon.

7kg limit. Regs are fine.

I often get let on with 10kg as cannot put batteries in checked luggage and I bring a lap top as well.

I've been diving in the Philippines for over thirty years and never had any stolen dive equipment in checked in luggage in all that time.
I do several trips a year to Philippines most years. Only twice this year as did Bali twice and off to Maldives in a few weeks.

Nobody was talking about anything got stolen in check bag. LOL.
It was about lost luggage.
