Air travel

[iowdivnut]

I'm headed for the Reno area in a couple of weeks and understand there is some diving at Lake Tahoe. My question is: Would it be better to carry my regulator and computer on the plane or check it with my other equipment?
Any help is appreciated.

Carry on to protect it those are to fragile for the way the baggage handlers throw you stuff around in checked bags

I always carry my reg, mask & computer. That way if (when) the airline loses my stuff, I have my personal gear that I wouldn't be too comfortable renting.

There is a huge thread on here somwhere about this but anyway I just throw it all in a ck on bag ....carry camera equipment

I always carry on reg, dive computers, mask and camera gear as well as my laptop.

Check or carry on gear?

I've had my luggage lost on several trips so always carry-on my reg, computer and photo equipment. Too valuable to lose !!!

Yep. In my move this week, I had two brand new suitcases I used. One is now cracked all to hell near the handle. When I brought this to the airline's attention, they naturally never did anything like that and I was just a greedy American trying to jip them out of money. Idiots. But what can you do?

Never ... as in never... never... check valuable stuff.
never!
