Recs on travel gear bags (Airline friendly)

[manta6]

I am going on a trip to Curacao and need to buy a new bag. Any recs? there are so many choices and some are pretty pricey. Need help.

I bought this Blue Reef bag from LP and I was really satisfied. Has enough room for two BCDs. Also, I would buy a bag that doesn't have scuba logos all over it. Just says steal me. I think this bag is the akona that sells for 175 but without the logos.

Agree with jive on this. You don't need to advertise what's in there. That said you should always take the things you could not dive without as carryon. For me that's my prescription mask, regs, computer and bottom timer and compass, BPW, dry suit, and fins. I use rockets. they are short enough to fit. Unimportant junk like clothes and toiletries I can buy. Heck two pairs of shorts, a swim suit, and a few t-shirts is enough for a week on a dive vaction. If I need more than that I'm not in the water enough.

thanks for the recs, I usually take my reg as a carry on - any issues with that ? Haven't been on a scuba trip in a while.
