Packing for a dive trip has become a real balancing act. In addition to the backpack/rollerbag combination, I wear a Tamrac photographer's vest. It's amazing how much weight one of these can carry, and I've never had it counted as carry-on luggage or been asked to gate check it. Strobe/focus light batteries and cables, spare hard drives and dive computers are carried in the pockets - basically all the small, heavy stuff finds a place in the vest. Even a Nikon D300 body is accomodated and relatively safe in one of the pockets. On a recent trip to Raja Ampat, the vest weighed 34 lbs. OK, so it's a pretty goofy look - sort of haute terrorist, all packed up with batteries and wires - and my lower back doesn't think it's such a good plan, but in the long run I've found the injury to my vanity and spine less damaging than lost luggage stress syndrome...
