The anticipation of a holiday is great, but packing is always a headache. With our diving holiday packing list, however, you can look forward to your trip without having to worry about packing your diving luggage.
Tips for preparing your journey
First check with your airline how much baggage is included. If the included baggage is not sufficient, book extra baggage.
With Edelweiss, for example, you can book sports baggage free of charge in advance.
What belongs in diving luggage?
We use a diving bag with wheels for our diving equipment.
