So, I should get lots of use out of it. Sounds fantastic - I've not been back to Sipadan since 1999. We could stay on the island at that time - we spent a week doing 3 dives a day + night dives. We loved it. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, I was looking forward to it, but I may very well cancel the trip sue to the current Mexican stance against underwater photographers. Shame, but there are plenty of places in the world to spend my money 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will zero in on the pelicans and bypass the suitcases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken de Mabini Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I agree with Dave Hicks, I carry my cameras and housings wrapped with clothes, in standard ugly old suitcases, never a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, they would also see housings and ports on any x-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will just purchase a carnet, which is approx £315 just to be safe, but it will mean that I don't go back to Mexico until they stop stealing off divers/underwater photographers.
