• How to Pack Your Dive Gear

  Before you leave, lay out all your dive gear and position items in relation to how you will wear them. Starting with the last item you will need, begin packing your bag. Wrap your fins in a towel and pack flat on the bottom or side of your bag. Always pack your mask, regulator, dive computer and other sensitive equipment in their protective cases.

• 

  For travel, fold your wet suit as follows to minimize bulk and stress on the suit:

• 

  1) Lay suit flat and fold legs up– avoid folding across the zipper;

• 

  2) Fold arms across the chest forming an “X”;

• 

  3) Place folded suit flat in your bag.

  On the way home, disperse dryer sheets throughout your gear bag to minimize odors.
