Can I take my "spare Air" on a Carnival Cruise ship?

[lhhoback]

So I think I have already found my answer to this question.... I am afraid the answer is no.

But I thought I would see what info you guys might have for me.

We are cruising the Legend in Jan. We plan to dive all four ports.

My husband and I always carry our Spare Air when we dive. I notice Carnival prevents dive cylinders or compressed air from being carried aboard. I assume this means even my small "spare air" cannister?

Just wondering if it could be checked such as a dive knife and then signed out for the day of the dive?

anyone have any experience with this?

I will try to call them this week...but I thought it would be helpful to know what any previous experiences were before I called them.

thanks
Lari

Last cruise our dive knife was "checked" (read left in the States)at the dock and picked up when we returned. You may get an empty spare air on.

As with air travel, you might be able to take it empty and just fill it pre-dive.
