Packing Checklist
Copying is welcome. Just cut and paste and delete whichever doesn't apply to you.
VERY IMPORTANT STUFF |
Clothes |
My diving equipment weighs about 13 kg. As there are the two of us, we started off putting all our dive equipment into one big-ass Ralftech bag with wheels. However, after a while we found that it's actually easier on the muscles to separate them into two regular-sized mesh bags. For reinforcement, we put each mesh bag into a duffel bag (this is for when we travel by air and check in our stuff.)

Bring a copy of your checklist with you to your dive destination. This is so you have a list to refer to when packing at the end of your holiday. It'll make sure you don't leave anything behind.
If you're using a camera bag, experiment with different configurations before you find the most space-effective one. Once you get it, draw it out and make a note of what goes into the smaller pockets. Bring a copy with you. This will save packing time later on.
