mania:I take a lot of stuff with me too. This is why I had to change my car - the old one was too small
Honestly - and this is a shorter version:
doubles, stage tank 9already half of the trunk), dry suit (rather a big bag), the rest of gear (quite a big bag), filters (my doubles are O2 clean so I need them to fill doubles) - another peli case. Save a dive kit (rather big peli case) and last but not least clothes (normal ones). So the trunk is full.
But when abroad I have to limit things. Mainly because of excess laguage fees.
One of the best solutions they have in Egypt. All your gear is taken to diving centre and then packed to special boxes. Everybode has own box and keeps stuff there. Boxes fit in the space under benches so they don't bother anybody.

Doing cold water dives means more gear, which means larger bag, I'm sure. NO one means to restrict cold water dives to the leaner warm water diving bag configuration. The cold water boats are geared to the larger bag need, I guess. When you see a warm water diver taking everything out of the hotel and onto the boat on a large, hard sided,travel luggage bag, you know that you are either dealing with a clueless novice or a selfish lout.
Hope you slept well? Were we good in your absence?
