Evening - I am going away in April and would like recommendations for a carry-on bag that will fit in the overhead. I am bringing my reg, computer, mask, bcd, & possibly my fins. If i rent anything it would be the fins. Thx

My Away carry-on works fine for all the above - with the benefit of having a hard shell (allowing to check the bag when needed).
But I also use a North Face Duffel backpack, also no issues.

i always just used a small back pac to carry my regs and computers etc. the rest went in the checked baggage

Gregory makes a quality roller, and a backpack style carryon.
The size depends on your airline. See what their requirements are before looking for a bag.
Good luck with the BCD and the fins....they often will not fit.
You are better off with a softside than a hard side...it is more malleable to get into the overhead.
You are better off with a hardside than a softside, in case you need to check it. You cannot count on overhead space unless you have priority boarding.
Got this for my future scuba travels. It really does fit every thing.
Was trying a link, but it would post.
Haven't used it for Scuba travel yet, but I liked enough to travel with it otherwise.

Another option. Depending on airline rules.
most, if not all, allow a carryon and personal item. I put my reg, octo, etc., mask and comp in a small case as a personal item. Then I have a carryon. Could put fins and some of the other things in your carryon. Got to agree with turs. Think you’ll be hard pressed to get a BCD in a carryon.

You need the right stuff, AL Outlaw B/C easily disassembles, SP super Nova fins taken apart all dive gear needed for warm water diving plus some cloths all in a standard carry on roller bag.
My scuba gear is checked, except for computers. My carry-on is photo equipment.
