The equipment is usually included with the dive rate but you may want to bring your own suit, fins and tuba.

Imagine the excess baggage charge for all my dive kit and my TUBA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :06:

But only on Vrigin Atlantic. At least it used to be that way...

I believe that is on TSA's list of dangerous items! Particularly if you sharpen up the rim at the top and the valves can actually contain small knives and such - i really wouldnt take the risk, you could have the security staff all over you trying to strip you down and search you - unless you like that kind of thing of course

BTW, i havent flown Virgin yet, are their planes as dirty as their trains used to be?

as the tuba is really an instrument of torture (as are the bagpipes) you will find
that these items are banned in most international flights.

Great for whiling away the time on a deco stop...

Hoppy,
I think we may be showing our own ignorance. I ran a search on Google and found that many dive sites require us to bring our own tuba.
I just pulled this off a Mexican dive site, see item 7 - can anybody enlighten us?

"1. All your dive gear, except tanks and weights (BCD, regulator, dive computer, mask, fins, wetsuit and dive lights) all available on rentals
2. Hat, sunglasses, sun block
3. Swimsuit
4. T-shirts and/or long sleeve cotton shirt
5.Short pants
6. One light windbreaker (may not be necessary but can be useful at night during spring and fall)
7. Scuba tuba/ flag
8. Certification card (or documentation on referrals) "

It looks like tuba is french for snorkel.

But my search on Google revealed an even stranger question. Apparently TUBA is a technique for breast enlargement...
So for all of you who wanted to know but were afraid to ask...

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about
breast enlargement through-the-navel ( TUBA ):
Can a woman with implants scuba dive?
Yes. There is no truth to the stories about implants misbehaving under diving conditions. A large number of professional and sport scuba divers have breast implants, and there is no risk of pressure problems. It has been speculated that a professional diver living underwater continuously for several days (saturation diving) may want to add a few minutes to her decompression, but that is only theoretical. I ask my patients to wait three weeks after surgery before resuming scuba diving.
There is also no problem with a woman flying if she has implants.

Can a woman with implants scuba dive?


yes but they don't tell you you have to carry 20 lbs of
extra weight to get your possitive bouyancy back.

Yes. There is no truth to the stories about implants misbehaving under diving conditions.

I'm not sure why, but I find the thought of misbehaving implants pretty funny.

Too funny!
