The price of sending diving equipment abroad by courier will depend on the total size and weight of your parcel, the service selected, and the distance between the pick-up and delivery addresses. You can get a final price for shipping your dive gear ahead by introducing your details directly on our booking tool.
Flying with diving equipment is not forbidden, but certain pieces of diving equipment cannot simply be taken on the plane. The reason behind it is that each individual airline company has strict regulations and some larger items like spear guns and knives are not allowed on planes.
For flying with scuba tanks, they need to travel empty and without the valve. Since these items are heavily regulated, you will have to undergo several checks if you choose to take them on a plane. Reduce the hassle of your next trip and have your dive gear shipped ahead.
Yes, scuba tanks can be shipped, but they need to be depressurized and the valve needs to be taken off. Most courier companies allow shipping of empty scuba tanks or those pressurized at less than 2 Bar.
No, international shipping of full scuba tanks is not allowed. Shipping scuba tanks filled with air can cause damage to other items and parcels if the valve gets knocked off and the tank turns into a rocket. In such a case, you would be liable for the damage to your parcel and all the other parcels.
Yes, you can send your diving equipment to your next international destination ahead of your journey. This way, your diving equipment will be waiting for you as soon as you arrive at the hotel or the apartment, and you will be able to travel with much fewer suitcases. You can schedule the collection of your package with the diving equipment a few days prior to the trip. Check our estimated delivery time tool to know when your parcel arrives at the desired destination.
Each shipment with Eurosender is covered by insurance, the amount of which depends on the shipping service selected and the type of items. Additional insurance is also available at a low cost.
