On the way out, the Deep 6 fins get carried on, as well as mask, computers, regs, and minimal clothing. I could deal with a rental BCD and wet suit if I had to, but floppy rental fins? No way!

Interesting. I wonder if things have changed then. I must have passed through airports at least a dozen times in the PI and never had any problems whatsoever, and my reg was always in my carry-on, as was my u/w camera.@annasea it has been very hit and miss for some people for regs on carry on. @Damselfish i saw the same link/doc as you.
I saw people with issues at the airport last year and they had to dump their carry on bag to check the reg then hand carry their stuff that was originally in their backpack wrapped in their jacket. I know many people report not having issues. It is not consistent. Better safe than sorry at security in my opinion. The security, gate, and check in lines in PH are no joke and a nightmare. I wouldn’t want to have to double back and lose my spot or delay myself.
