Never a problem. You don't declare anything.

Just got back and didn't have a problem coming or going. BTW, they did go thru my bags. Nothing missing.
H2OU:
I have never had a problem bringing scuba gear into Mexico. Heading down to Cozumel Dec. 28 for 8 days. We'll be fying into Cancun this time. This will be my sixth flight into Mexico this year and I have never been questioned about my gear. I have brought several dive computers back into Mexico for a friend. I had the repair records but have never been questioned the first time.
They did question my commercial paint sprayer when they ran it through the scanner at the airport at Thanksgiving. I pulled out the bill and it was under the $600 limit so no problem.
When I drove down this summer I had to declare items other than personal things. Like my generator, DeWalt tools, air compressor, etc. I cured this by having the sales records and or making a printout to declare the value of the items. I just paid the import tax and kept my records to show when I came to inspection checkpoints.
