How to fly with freediving equipment?
We know from experience that travelling with freediving equipment can be difficult to organise at first, not to mention if we have to catch a flight.
Standard suitcases are not usually the right size for freediving fins, and if you also have equipment made of delicate materials such as fibre or carbon, you will surely suffer just imagining how they will toss your suitcase around to load it onto the flight.
But don't panic, we have the solution.
Our first recommendation is that you get yourself specific apnea bags or suitcases, which you will find in different sizes so you can carry your freediving equipment independently or take a larger suitcase that also fits your clothes.
