here are a couple more things to consider. on the last few airline trips i've been on, i pack all of my dive stuff into a sports tube (sports tube II), including 2 guns, fins, suit, float, float line, etc... making sure it's under the weight limit (usually 55#) and check it through. then i carry on a duffel bag with cloths and whatever else i need that wont fit in the tube. i try to find lead for the weigh belt locally if possible but if i cant i'll bring it in the duffel, i also pack a soft cooler in the duffel so i can bring home some fish and i usually check it through on the way back. with all the extra charges the airlines are dinging us with these days it pays to pack as light as possible.
Yeah, definitely. I keep it under 50lbs in my big sportube and I try to distribute the weight throughout. That sportube is one of the best spearfishing related pieces of equipment that I've bought.
Quick question; what are the water temps, say in June? I'm planning on that so I'm in the Wahoo season.
