Instructions for packing scuba equipment. How to pack scuba diving wetsuits, masks, snorkels, and fins

There are many different components and accessories in scuba diving equipment. We have prepared a list with tips on packing scuba equipment for shipping to avoid any damages during transportation.

  1. Protect each item properly. Take bubble wrap for covering regulators, dive masks, snorkel sets, fins and other accessories.
  2. If you decide to ship dive knives, lights, watches, waterproof cameras, or dive computers, you need to place them in their original bags to ensure maximum protection.
  3. Place the items in a scuba gear bag and nest the bag in a cardboard box. Add extra cushioning materials to fill any voids.
  4. Close the box and seal with adhesive tape.

How to pack and ship an empty scuba tank

Pressurised scuba tanks or other compressed gas cylinders containing air or other non-flammable gases are considered as dangerous goods. Therefore, make sure the scuba tank you’re shipping is empty and follow these packing steps to insure its safe transportation.

  1. Disconnect the valve from the cylinder and empty the scuba tank from air.
  2. Bubble wrap the valve and the tank separately and fix it with adhesive tape.
  3. Place the scuba tank and valve in the cardboard box. Add cushioning materials like foam, bubble wrap or packing paper.
  4. Close and seal the box.
