Flying with a Diving Knife

Author: DiveMaster

My diving hobby has taken me all over the world to some truly breathtaking exotic locales. Unfortunately, TSA restrictions have made it more difficult to travel with my diving equipment. I used to be able to just toss my diving knife into my carry-on bag, but since 2001, all knives have been banned from the cabins of airplanes (unless you can afford your own private plane, which I cannot).

Since I’m pretty particular about the equipment I use, I’ve found ways to ensure I take what I need. On some occasions, I’ve had my diving knife and other sharp equipment mailed to me. If I’m going on a longer trip, then I can pack my knife and other equipment in my checked bag- no questions asked.
