You're kidding, right?  You don't actually check through your dive gear, do
you?  You let it leave your SIGHT???  Wouldn't it SUCK if your stuff got
lost?  Or stolen?  Or you had a big fight with the desk lady about how many
bags you had, because you didn't know the _cart_ you carry your 50 pounds
of carry-on dive gear on counted as one bag, because no one ever said
anything the last ten trips, and in retaliation she sent your check through
luggage to CHINA???  Even _after_ you took your backplate out and put it on
so you'd be able to fit your purse in your dive bag so you'd have the right
number and not have to pay $50 to bring the CART???  Maybe I'm obsessive
about my gear, but there won't be any baggage compartment apes handling it,
either......
