Hey all
I'm torn The thing is I just started out in this diving thing. Got my own gear, all ready to dive in :blinking: but then decided to go for a round the world trip. You know while I'm still single and unattached. I will start of doing a volunteer work near Playa del Carmen. I will be doing reef monitoring, basically doing about two dives a day, six days a week for ten weeks. I thought of this as an excellent way to improve my diving skills and get some experience in a brief time. Afterwards I will head to SE - Asia and backpack around there for a few months.
Now the conundrum. :huh: I've got all this nice new gear, I'm gonna bring my wetsuit, goggles, fins and computer. But I'm really tempted to also take my BCD, regulator, octopus etc. with me instead of using the gear the organization will provide. But I don't want to carry this extra weight around in my backpack for the rest of my trip. So I've been thinking if it's a viable option to ship it back home once I'm done with the program.
Has anyone here tried to mail a package from Mexico to Europe? What service did you use and how much did it cost? I've sent inquiries to both FedEx and USP but am having a hard time getting a straight answer from those.
