Travel Luggage Bags on Dive Boats? Are You Crazy?

[dherbman]

PiFi, if you are going to be on the boat, please load the ladies bags and be double quick with the doubles.

There's really nothing better than a woman in tri-lam, doubles and a wing... Except three women in tri-lam, doubles and wings...

 

[redrover]

YES!

Ahhhh. that cleared things up.

They'd rather talk about themselves. It's the ME generation? Guess what kind and size bags they bring onboard?

STEP ASIDE, YOU SWABS, THE GALS ARE COMING ABOARD AND YOU'D BETTER CLEAR THE DECKS. Can you picture the jewlery? Don't swim near barracuda.

Oh yes -- you figured me out -- major jewelry -- and I take what I need in the bags it needs to be in. Some of us just need more stuff than others. You should see how much stuff I needed the last time I loaded up my truck for a dive trip.

When you swim with the big fish -- sometimes you need big stuff... I know you don't understand that but then maybe someday you will be there too.

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.

Of course people diving dry suits and doubles and etc. have special needs, and etc., and that is taken into consideration on those trips/boats. However, for the usual recreational diver, if you have more than a BC, fins, mask, wetsuit (and whatever other boots, gloves) and regulator, you have too much (add safety sausages and etc. when and if appropriate)...keep all that other/extra stuff at home please, and stop taking up all the room on the boat (these are usually also the people smoking for some strange reason); and leave the roll-aboards in your hotel room too...

Those big wheelies are to carry the tobacco?

Yeah, bet they are used to a few hornytoads defogging their masks, helping them on with the BC and even fawning on thier knees to help put on their fins for them?

Ahhhh. that cleared things up.
