(if this is already discussed somewhere on this board, please forgive me. I couldn't find it... :06: )
Within 10 months I will be setting foot on New Zealand soil (again) for some serious diving and ofcourse... backpacking!:fruit:
Are there more people who have backpacked with their own divegear( i.e. suit, mask and flippers)and want to share their secrets?
When I'm overthere I want to do some divecourses. Reading some stuff about LSD want to sell you gear, the odds are that I will buy me own gear too. But just wondering how to keep your gear in good shape (it has to last at least for one year).
I mean, it must be a hassle to drag your gear around, including the big stuffed backpack with all the other stuff you might need so survive :14: Not to mention the changes of damaging your stuff while traveling by bus, car or thumb.
Storing a wet wetsuit is not a good idea I'll guess, but leaving it out to dry in a youth-hostel while personally not present... ehm :icosm12: Does folding a divesuit wear it out quickly, or should it hold for 12 months? Moch much weight does a wetsuit add to a backpack?
I've been in OZ and NZ before, but that was backpacking without divegear...
Just wanna find out before the big trip...
