The Perfect Carry-On Travel Backpack
For frequent travelers, a good carry-on backpack is essential. It keeps your belongings readily accessible, offering peace of mind and flexibility throughout your journey. Many scuba divers pack vital equipment like regulators, masks, and computers in a carry-on, ensuring that the gear won’t get lost or damaged.
This specific travel backpack is the perfect size, meeting the dimension requirements for most airlines. It is lightweight and well-made. The main compartment with zippered mesh space, an optional midway shelf, and internal/external compression straps. The padded straps, sternum straps, and waist belt allow for balanced wear and comfort.
The best part? It’s one of the most affordable travel backpacks available and comes in three colors!
I bought the Amazon Basics Travel Backpack in 2018 and it's the best travel purchase I've made! It fits my mask, regulator, dive log, laptop, Kindle, and several outfits with no issues. It still looks new despite having travelled all over the world!
Portable Charger with Built-In Cables
There is nothing worse than having a phone or tablet die when it is needed most. A portable charger ensures you can stay connected with loved ones, access important information, and capture memories without worry.
This portable charger is sleek and lightweight, making it easy to pack in a carry-on or small purse. It includes charging cables for iPhones, Android Phones, and other devices with a micro input. The digital display lets users know the percentage of battery power left. Reviews love how quickly it recharges their devices!
Airplane Phone Mount
In-flight entertainment isn’t always available – or worth watching. Thankfully, personal phones provide a way to watch movies or read ebooks. But staring down at a phone isn’t comfortable and can interfere with other tasks. A phone mount makes it easy to stay entertained and comfortable – no more neck pain! This is especially valuable on long flights or when traveling with limited legroom.
This pocket-sized phone mount unfolds when you need it. It’s easy to attach to almost any surface – you can even put it on the handle of your suitcase during layovers! The mount provides 360-degree rotation, allowing for the best angles for viewing. Compatible with most smartphones.
Compression Packing Cubes
Compression cubes effectively compress clothing and other soft items, allowing you to pack more into your luggage while saving valuable space. These cubes also help to organize belongings, making it easy to sort through luggage without creating a mess.
This set of compression packing cubes comes in 23 different colors and sets of 2, 4, or 6 cubes, making it easy to match personal luggage. Purchase different colors for different family members to easily identify each person’s items!
Apple AirTags
The Apple AirTag was designed to help people keep track of their things. It’s a great way to monitor luggage, purses, and even keys.
This easy-to-use device offers a tap setup. Once synced, Apple users can use the Find My app to locate nearby items. A built-in speaker allows sound to help further narrow down the location of an item.
AirTags out of range can be found through the anonymous Find My network. If misplaced or if an airline loses luggage, the tag can be put in “Lost Mode”, which allows the owner to be notified as soon as it rejoins the Find My network.
The included batteries last for a year and can be easily replaced.
Portable White Noise Machine
Falling asleep in general can be difficult, let alone in a new place. Many travelers use white noise machines at home but don’t realize that a portable version is available!
This white noise machine is lightweight and compact. It helps travelers relax and reduces distractions caused by outside noises. It offers 25 different sounds, such as fans, sea waves, bird calls, and campfire. The volume can be adjusted over 32 levels.
This is also a great gift for scuba divers who frequently travel with children! The soothing noises help babies and children to relax in an unfamiliar environment.
A Dry Bag
It’s no secret that scuba divers spend a lot of time around water. That doesn’t mean we want everything we have to get wet!
The earth-pak dry bag is loved by scuba divers, kayakers, surfers, and paddleboards throughout the world. This well-constructed and durable bag lasts for years. It is available in eleven colors and six different sizes!
Included is the IPX8-certified waterproof phone case. This case has two clear sides, providing a way to take pictures without exposing the phone to water. **Please note that this waterproof case is NOT for diving.
Scuba Diving O-Ring Kit
There is nothing worse than being nowhere near a dive shop and to realize a faulty O-ring is going to ruin what would have been a perfectly good dive.
O-rings are crucial components in scuba equipment, forming seals to prevent leaks and ensure proper functioning. Having spare o-rings allows divers to perform emergency repairs on the go if an o-ring fails, preventing the dive from being aborted due to a minor issue.
This kit ensures that spare O-rings will always be available! This is a great choice for divers who love to shore dive!
OdoBan Wetsuit Cleaner and Deodorizer
There is nothing worse than a smelly wetsuit and/or boots.
Keep wetsuits in good shape and smelling great with this no-rinse cleaner and deodorizer.
This extra large jug is concentrated and when mixed with water, provides 256 gallons of cleaning solution. It works to remove salt, algae, and body oils from neoprene. Take a small amount in a travel container for cleaning on the go!
GoPro HERO 12
GoPro provides divers with a way to capture stunning underwater landscapes, marine life, and their dive buddies. This camera is easy to carry, maneuver, and attach to diving equipment without adding excessive bulk or weight.
The videos and photographs taken can easily be uploaded to a cloud platform or phone for easy sharing.
The GoPro HERO 12 is waterproof to about 30 ft. It’s best to purchase the waterproof case directly from the manufacturer to prevent flooding.
Stream 2 Sea Reef Safe Products
Did you know that the majority of sunscreen available is harmful to coral larvae and fish? Stream 2 Sea was developed to ensure that the products protecting our skin from the sun don’t harm the environment.
This travel pack includes sunscreen, soothing gel, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. All of it is environmentally friendly and has passed the HEL Labs Protect Land + Sea certification.
Scuba Tank Shaped Water Bottle by TankH20
This might look like a tank but it’s actually a 700mL insulated water bottle! Made from food-grade stainless steel, this is a great gift for your favorite dive buddy! The BPA-free cap is easy to twist on and off – and the black part even spins like a real tank!
Available in 3 colors, TankH20 gives back by donating 1% of its revenue to environmental organizations.
Sea Creature Ornaments
Bring the sea to your tree. These ornaments evoke memories of diving experiences and the fascinating creatures that can be encountered underwater. Each ornament is hand-painted!
With 14 different options to choose from, including sea turtles, sea horses, manta rays, sharks, and octopuses, you’ll be sure to find a favorite!
