Hi Guys

How do transport sofnolime for a long weekends diving and how much do you take.
I do not want to carry around the large tub just for a 4 day dive trip

Many thanks for your help

zip lock bags.

weigh a fill into a bag close it down job done, and there cheap and you can stuff them into things if short of space. Buy from any supermarket.

Putting kitty litter in un-marked plastic bags can be a "Catch-22" when it comes to Customs folks. All it takes is one suspicious examiner, and you are left standing there trying to explain whilst your mates wave out the window of the aircraft taxiing by!

This is not to say you cannot, or should not do so. It is a good idea, however, to make multiple copies of the company's Transport Certificate, and make sure that one is with each "baggie"! It could save you from having parts of your anatomy groped by un-gentle hands!!
