Yes, you can check a dive knife in your luggage.
It's crucial to pack your dive knife in your checked baggage. Attempting to carry it on board the aircraft will almost certainly result in its confiscation during airport security screening.
Here’s why and what you should consider:
-
Regulations: Airline regulations prohibit sharp objects, including dive knives, in carry-on luggage.
-
Security Screening: Airport security uses screening technology that easily detects knives.
-
Confiscation: If you attempt to bring a dive knife in your carry-on, it will be confiscated.
-
Alternatives for Diving: Remember that dive tanks and weights are usually provided by dive resorts, so transporting them is unnecessary.
Therefore, to avoid issues, always pack your dive knife securely within your checked baggage.
