I have an XS Scuba mesh dive bag (http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/XSSBDMBP.html?&&) and I can fit ALL my gear in there (I have a Cressi Travelite BCD, Cressi Reaction Fins, wetsuit, boots, and entire setup of reg., octo., computer, and first stage which I put in the main part of the bag) and in the back pouch I can fit my mask, and critical parts (o-rings, extra batteries for my computer, fin straps and buckles, etc.). I have not had any issues thus far with it, and have used it going to Egypt, Grand Cayman, and most recently Hawaii (which domestically gave me the hardest time...bottom line is I got it on the plane). The flights I was on last time weren’t that full, so I was able to put it right in the overhead bin, but when I went to Hawaii, I actually squeezed in under my seat. It was cramped, but I liked knowing I was the only one handling my gear. I’m also a photographer, so my "official" suitcase carry on consists of my camera, strobes, and laptop (along with a bathing suit and t-shirt incase my luggage gets lost)...worst case is I’ll arrive in my destination without extra clothing which could easily be purchased if necessary.
