No i wont put life support gear (RX mask, Regs, Deco Regs, gas analyser, epirb, dive computers, cameras, camera housings, strobes, and misc other life support items) in my checked bag unless i absolutely have to (reasons why should be very obvious and are topic for a whole other thread) and normally in my carry-on, which is why at times my rollaboard weighs close to 50+ lbs .
Depending on the Finns it wouldn't surprise that fins cause a bag check as the plastics used in some fins are super dense (Jet, split jet, turtle, and force fins).
the irony is that in all of my travels I have yet to have my rollaboard searched when i have my regs in them despite that they have to look like a device in the case based on how i coil the hoses. Then agian i have carried a steel in my carry-on without so much as a peep.
