I want to avoid checking a big pelican case... To me, they scream "expensive equipment, please steal me"... So I guess I'll try and find the largest case that I can still carry on that the housing and strobe will fit into... Air jamaica says 50in. total for carry on ..

Ken and Lisa, we have a big pelican case, we bought extra locks but we check it...we got ourselves camera insurance just in case it is lost or flooded...I will send you info if you would like...That of course does not help the fact that you have lost your equipment before the dives...We take a pull on each with us for masks, wetsuits,regs (2sets) BC's and clothes to get us through a day. Plus essential meds and toiletries that you would need for a day of inconvenience. This last trip they lost "my" luggage the whole trip...it came back with us on the plane from Montego Bay. I have since bought a fin bag that I will use as a fin/purse to stuff more things that we could be without in case this happens again! Like film and such....This was the first time that our luggage was lost for the whole trip....I wore a turtle tee shirt for a few days...Steve thought it was very "romantic"(Not!) Remember to check your luggage tags and make sure all of them say the final destination is Bonaire...(not that this guarantee's anything) but a possible one up on them! Good luck...I still had a great time, tee shirt and all
