At last, a reply!

I began to assume that all real divers swam to Europe and no one except
hose-stuffing wimps and bud lite drinking strokes actually flew anywhere,
presumably because it's *never* safe to fly after they surface.

Going First is obviously the Hollywood solution to the problem. I coulda
bought a rebreather for the price of First! Fine if you are travelling on
some poor investor's stash and racking up those expenses when you
film/dive, but this poor (and recently out-o-work) saw-bones travels on
his own nickle and is willing to seize the crumbs of knowledge that fall
from the great Filmmaker's table. Well the worthwhile ones anyway...

So what has been your greatest scam to make the airline accept your extra
weight dive bag for free?:

1. Don't open that bag, it's got a human heart packed in ice and we MUST
take it to the tiny child whose life it will save. We ARE a charity y'know.
