What do you keep your camera and underwater housing in for travel?

The case goes in it's bubble wrap, and I snuggle in the middle of my wetsuit. The camera lives in my trouser or coat pocket

I travel witth my camera in my backpack for my laptop. That way I keep expensive stuff together with me.

I have the 20D with Ikelite housing, dual strobes, multiple ports and lenses. I carry the camera and my walk-around lenses with me in my laptop bag. The housing, strobes, ports and other lenses I pack in a Pelican 1620 with foam that is locked with TSA approved locks and checked.

I use a Storm case Hardigg Storm Case, im2300, watertight, padlockable, airtight, integrated protection system with the pluck foam. I think my camera would have a better chance of surviving a plane crash than I would.

I use a cooler. Really... it is a soft sider with a hard liner. It has a front pocket for accessories, and it fit my PT30, DS51 strobe, arm, camera, focus light and my DC500 in UW case with a hard plastic liner. It worked great, to carry on the plane and use a soaker bucket when we went to Curacao. It cost $13....Of course the TSA guys laughed at me......

Camera in soft case in carryon.
Housing, with seal cracked, in big ziploc, wrapped in wetsuit in checked bag.

Is it always advisable to travel on the airline with the seal open?

Yes, I've seen people that flew with the housing closed up tight and when they tried to open it up after landing it seemed to be welded shut. They eventually got it open but it seemed touch and go for a while.

That is the nice thing with the pelican, it has a vent.

 

[Rickg]

Yep, Pelican cases are the "Cadillac" of hard cases.
