The Best Scuba Gear for Traveling

As a diver, you depend on your gear. Yet when it comes to travel, lugging all of your equipment around can be a pain, antagonized in recent years by airline weight restrictions and surcharges. With divers working to reduce the amount of weight needed to submerge, scuba-gear manufacturers are keeping pace, creating product lines specifically designed for the traveling diver. So whether you’re shuffling along an airport concourse with a kit tightly packed for the limited space on a live-aboard or just loading the car for a day at the beach or quarry, we’ve assembled a cross-section of scuba equipment that packs, stows and goes easily — by land or by sea.
