I'm getting better at packing for dive trips. I used to do everything in my power to avoid checking in a third bag, but it now seems necessary. I'm just glad I don't abuse cargo space as badly as Watt and Fleetham do; they each checked in four large coolers/cases for the extended trip. :)

We had 28 cameras (16 of them were digital) on board, including six digital SLRs (5 x Canon D60, 1 x Fuji S1 Pro) and four UK Germany D60 housings.
