Gear Bags

[Mtrewyn]

Do you use a regulator bag or do you use something less conspicuous when traveling, I'm looking to buy a bag to put my stuff in, right I'm using a lot top bag for my reg. and it seems to work pretty well.

just asking

I put the reg bag into my carry on when I fly or in the gear bag with the rest of the stuff when I can drive to the dive site. My scuba bag says nothing about scuba on it so it looks like its not full of expensive gear. As long as the reg bag is padded and large enough not to kink the hoses it will work fine.

I don't use a reg bag, but if I did I would put it in a carryon (or possibly in a checked bag on the way home.) I wouldn't carry it on by itself, carry on luggage allotment is too precious to use for just a reg bag.

I have a reg bag that is padded. It holds two regs plus small lights and a few other assorted items. It goes into a main bag with all the other for diving.

what reg bag would you all recomend

This is the bag I use when I go on trips. It's large enough for 2 (or more regs), some small lights, my travel documents, my log book, and a clean shirt & underwear (if you travel enough, you know why). I treat it as carry on luggage when I travel, and I store my regs in it at home. It has a shoulderstrap in addition to being able to be converted to a backpack. Although I've never used the backpack feature.

I don't take it on the boat, but if I'm traveling in my car, then it comes with me.

I put my regs and computer into a reg bag and then put it into my carry on.

If you have something that could break put it in a Pelican case. These cases can be drop kicked down a flight of stairs. But get one big enough to hold ALL you breakables. Mask, Reg, and so on. The rest of the gear is not breakable and can go in a soft bag.

To prevent theft do make you stuff stand out. People might take a black "look a like" bag or case but not one marked up with bright stripes of green and pink day-glow spay paint. They don't take stuff that can be identified from 100 yards away.

Use an old Pepsi bag, 2 reg sets, 2 masks, 2 computers and 2 changes of clothes.

Did you mean "Lap Top Bag?"

I put my reg in a reg bag, inside a carry on bag. I guess I could disguise my $500 reg for a $2000 lap top. But I just use a reg bag for regs, and a computer bag for my computer.
