just be careful if, like me, you take your lead shot ankle weights as carry on... if the weights roll themselves up into a very particular shape - you get very funny looks from the xray people!

LMAO

With all the new restrictions does anybody know how you pack your dive knife when taking a flight? Do they allow you to pack it in the checked luggage? Thanks.

I thought this is why the "Search" thingie is in Red.

Yes, dive knives are ok as carry on. Don't worry. As long as they're the circular ones made from tennis ball fuzz.

Last week I flew for 24 hours airtime from ORD>IAH>LAX>HON then Manilla, and on the way back, after several extremely invasive searches getting up to the loading ramp in Manilla, I finally figured out why they thought my credit cards made my wallet beep... I had a razor blade stashed in there.

Jeepers, I dumped that in the garbage muy pronto.

In Chicago, they did confiscate my 91% Ethyl Rubbing Alchohol from my checked bags, but I waltzed it through carry on. They're worried about flammables in the luggage (?)

Let's see... no butane lighters but 5 books of matches are okay. I think I got it.

They're also really worried about corrosives in the luggage as well.... good thing they never dripped a czyalume stick on airplane parts... instant oxidation.

9-11 was an easy day, just wait.

But I do feel safer after seeing everybody take their shoes off.

The problem is having to unpack our regulators which travels in the cabin luggage each and every time we go through an airport metal detector





Get one of them little reg baggies that seem redundant for just about everything else. You won't have be doing the stranded octopus dance, and the gauges won't be pulling out toothbrushes, condoms and other inflight necessities with it everytime.

My full dive gear minus tanks and weights is 14kg. That doesnt leave much space for clothes and other essentials for a holiday.


Those are the essentials buddy ;0).

But that only works if you have a clip on nose regulator so you can keep your mouth open...

I got a reg bag for travel...I had to go through the first flight with it hearing "you look so cute with your purse" by my wife.
