How to Pack for a Scuba Diving Vacation

One area of scuba diving education that seems to get little attention is how to pack your gear. My very first scuba diving vacation was when my wife and I got married in Hawaii and did our honeymoon in Tahiti. I toted a full sized, scuba suitcase from Chicago to Maui to Honolulu to Papeete to Bora Bora to Moorea, then back to Honolulu and finally Chicago. Each leg of the journey, I had to pay extra for the weight (and extra bag) of scuba gear. I carried way too much unneeded stuff. In today's economy, the airlines are looking for any reason to bend you over and nail you in the keester with luggage fees. So planning how you pack, can save you some money in the future.<!--more-->

The Thinking Dive Traveler

Before you start putting anything in a bag, you first have to go over everything and look for items that can be removed. I'm currently packing for a trip to Turks and Caicos. As I was folding up my mesh bag for carrying gear on a boat, I noticed that I still had a bunch of teaching slates in one of the pockets. I removed the backup light from my harness as well as the backup double ender I keep and stainless steel buckle used to hold my canister light in place. Even though I could really use my stainless steel backplate, I'm taking my aluminum plate to reduce the weight of the bag (I'll add a weight belt when I get there). By making these small changes, I was able to shave off 8 pounds from the bag. That may not seem like much, but it will help me get below the "heavy" bag weight limit the airlines impose. Remember, every ounce counts. So get into the mindset to eliminate even the smallest item if it isn't needed. If your bag is even 1 pound over the weight limit, you can bet a paycheck the airline will charge you extra. There's a war raging for your dollar. You need to fight to keep it. Make sure you know the weight limits for the airline you are traveling with prior to packing up your dive gear.

The Rental Option

Even if you own your own gear, you can still opt to rent gear from the dive operator you are diving with. This way you won't have to worry about packing, and maybe losing your dive gear. I'm always skeptical about renting gear in other countries. Who knows how well it has been taken care of. I get the willies just thinking about donning a wet suit that a thousand people may have puked on, peed in or done something worse. So I prefer to take my own gear. Certainly renting gear at your destination is a viable option. Just do your homework into how they service their gear.

Maximizing Bag Space

Looking at how you pack your gear can be a big benefit to you. You are only given a finite space to place your gear in a bag. My shorty wetsuit and mesh gear bag will lay perfectly flat on the bottom of my travel case (when it's laying down). I then put my backplate and wing on top of that. Make sure all of the air is out of your BCD prior to packing. My regulator bag sits nicely inside the harness next to the backplate. I have fin "pockets" on the inside of my travel case. Even my Jet fins will fit in them. My wet suit boots go in the foot pocket of my fins. The lid of my travel case has a padded zipper pocket on the inside of it. My mask fits in there nicely. I carry my bottom timer/depth gauge on my carry-on bag. By packing this way, I have plenty of room for souvenirs to bring home. Just as long as they don't push me over the bag weight limit. In the past, I made mistakes by packing things I thought I needed. For example, I own two regulator bags. One is a very nice, thickly padded XS Scuba one. I love that reg bag. But it is too bulky to travel with. So I have a less bulky one, that isn't as nice, to carry my regulators in. I've also stopped carrying multiple Pelican cases. In the past, I took as many as three Pelican cases to hold "stuff". I'm now down to only one small case, to hold my wallet and sunglasses when I'm in the water.

Make Sound Travel Decisions

If you take frequent scuba vacations, make sure that you think through your gear choices when traveling. It doesn't hurt to have a travel BCD that is smaller and lighter than your home BCD. Same thing with fins. As much as I love my Scubapro Jet fins, my old Dacor Panthers save me 4 extra pounds and I can move through warm water just as efficiently as my Jets. I also have warm water boots that are low cut and a thin rubber sole. Whereas my home wet suit boots are high tops with a thick, hard sole.

Otherwise, if you don't mind paying the extra fees for exceeding your checked bag weight limit, then feel free to keep stimulating the economy. We could use all the help we can get.

Question by yoji_00: I'm thinking of buying some long-bladed free diving fins, but do those work alright for breaststrokes?
I'm thinking of buying some free diving fins (the kind with the very long and flexible blades) for my wife, but we're concerned that they may not work well when using a breaststroke. I'd like to make sure before I drop $ 100+ on a pair.

Best answer:

Answer by JEN
I'm a competitive swimmer, and I personally would not buy the long fins if using them for breaststroke. When I swim, my coaches have never let us use fins while kicking breaststroke because it causes stress to your knees, and they don't particularly help while swimming breaststroke. There are specific fins that CAN be used when training breaststroke, but they can run expensive. These fins also shouldn't be used for kicking any other stroke. Hope this helps!

Get a new one and see how that works out. If it's still foggy, then make sure the mask has a firmer grip on your face. That usually helps me when it gets foggy.

Scuba Diving Computers Required

More and more dive operators are making them mandatory. Some even include a wrist dive computer as part of the gear provided to their customers. This is especially true for live-aboard dive boat operations.

Of course that only makes sense for these "dive your brains out" deals. You're doing a ton of diving, spending serious time underwater, and a computer not only makes it easier, but helps avoid compromising safety.

And don't misunderstand, live-aboards are great. It doesn't get much better than five or so dives a day, and merely rolling out of bed to get to the site. Put that together with great food, pristine reefs off the beaten path, & falling asleep under the stars, and it's a super vacation recipe.

Aside from their obvious usefulness in the live-aboard world, dive computers make sense for most all diving situations. In fact, anyone serious about the sport shouldn't make another dive without one. From maximizing bottom time to calculating complex dive plans without compromising safety, these wrist computers are invaluable.

Even the dive operators who don't make them mandatory, will separate the computer divers from the non-computer divers, requiring those without personal dive computers to follow a much more conservative profile, which most often results in a shorter dive.

Now there's nothing wrong with being conservative, but not to the extent of cutting a dive needlessly short. And that's the whole point behind using a computer. It allows more time at depth and/or underwater while still helping you stay within safe limits.

There may be a handful of very experienced scuba divers who are so skilled with the dive tables, they can recalculate complex dive plans on the fly during their dive with some proficiency. But even they can't beat a computer in terms of speed and accuracy. And most, if not all those guys, still use a computer simply because they prefer to get the most from their diving.

Whether you need the full functionality of variable gas mixtures, extensive dive logging, complicated multi-level dive profiles, deep or decompression dives, etc., or just want to stay safe while allowing for slight changes to your dive plan, a good dive computer is an excellent investment.

They really should be considered required equipment. Prices have come down so far that cost just isn't an excuse anymore, especially when thinking about safety. Get the most out of your diving by making a wrist computer an integral part of your dive gear.

Scuba diving, while fun, has its share of dangers like any other outdoor sport. Know how to recognize and treat potential problems before (or when) they occur can make the difference between life and death when you're underwater. Here are some safety measures to take, and some things that can happen that you seek.

Contingency plan for each emergency - it is good legislation Murphy old made that "everything that can go wrong will go wrong." While the statement seems cynical and pessimistic, it actually helps sometimes to adopt this approach, especially when planning for emergencies. Take enough supplies to treat all potential problems you'll encounter, and save way to obtain outside help at hand in case something arises that you were not prepared.

Victims of Decompression: DCS - recognizing symptoms of both diseases. They will need treatment in an emergency decompression chamber. They are: decompression sickness, or DCS, and embolism cerebral arterial gas, or a cage. DCS occurs because the body forms pockets of air in it when using compressed air, and because it is subjected to increased external pressure of the water. DCS occurs because the nitrogen from the air supply to a person unlike oxygen, is not fully utilized and absorbed by the body, and increased levels of nitrogen, unless controlled by a device on the breathing apparatus called a regulator, collects air pockets in the body. These create a feeling of cramps, nausea and dizziness and physical sensation referred by divers as The Bends. DCS usually occurs on a downhill too fast, like the body and the regulator can not fast enough to offset the increased water pressure.

Victims of Decompression: Cage - Cerebral arterial gas embolism occurs more often following a rapid uncontrolled ascent, versus the divers windings affected due to a rapid descent. This is manifested by acute pain in the body, especially in the sinuses, head and in the lung. This is a very serious condition that can be potentially fatal. Cage is caused when the rapid rise of the plunger causes air bubbles similar to those formed during DCS, but this time the pressure changes air bubbles that trigger the body are due to a sudden decrease in water pressure around the body. This causes the air trapped to have a higher volume pressure than the surrounding atmosphere. Indeed, the diver is an unopened can of soda, which has shaken real underwater, and once it leaves the water, the same effect as opening the can ...

Injuries - Injuries that can occur from decompression range from simple discomfort such as nausea, sharp pains and cramps, to more serious matters. A bubbles potentially most damaging is trapped in reaching the heart or brain system. As some of you have seen May to television, there are episodes where a villain kills his victim sleeping in a hospital by injecting air into their dextrose. Air bubbles formed in the veins to cause cardiac arrest when they hit the heart or a stroke if they affect the brain. This is a fact true, and causes air bubbles in decompression May have this effect, it is big enough. This is one of the main reasons why controlled ascents and descnet rates are so vital to safe diving.

Other potential diseases - without the disease decompression, which is the type most common and serious injuy incurred by divers, other diseases are mostly in the atmosphere in question. Hypothermia is caused by diving in extremely cold water, or diving with a wetsuit that does not provide sufficient thermal insulation. Dehydration also occurs on a dive, surprisingly. Be sure to drink plenty of water before you go. Asphyxiation occurs on the other hand, if the supply of air used is flawed and does not give the body enough oxygen to function.

Rescue Diving - Take a first aid class that you will recognize the signs of the conditions mentioned above, and also teaches you the steps emergency to be used in these events. Do not rely on the basic text or verbal descriptions, make sure the first aid course gives you full hands on training in the treatment of these injuries. Also keep your first aid kit well stocked on your dives, and still have a way to call with others, including a radio transmitter, cellular phone, and even signal flares. Although seemingly cumbersome and useless, these elements can make the difference between life and death.
