Recommended target weight for this trip: 7 kg.
Plan one laundry stop every 5-7 days to halve your clothing weight.
Tailor your packing list to a real diving trip rather than a generic holiday template. This tool weighs your trip length (7 days), climate category (tropical) and chosen luggage strategy to produce a checklist with weight estimate, layered clothing plan and a forget-it-at-your-peril essentials block.
Essential Items for a Diving Trip
Beyond the fun stuff, a 7-day diving trip stands on these items: documents (passport, visas, insurance), money (two cards plus a small local-currency float), a phone with international roaming or eSIM, charger and cable, a 10,000 mAh power bank, and a slim first-aid kit. A packing cube for dirty laundry is a small upgrade that pays for itself by day three of a diving trip.

tropical climates reward fabrics that breathe and dry fast. For a diving trip, pack merino t-shirts, a lightweight long-sleeve for sun and bug protection, and one warm mid-layer. Two pairs of bottoms (one casual, one activity) plus a swim layer covers most diving trip scenarios.
Roll, don't fold, to maximise carry-on space for the diving trip kit. The carry-on math only works if the diving trip wardrobe dries overnight — test each piece at home and cut anything that fails.
Diving Trip Toiletries & Travel-Sized Liquids
Travel-sized toiletries are easy to overdo. For a 7-day diving trip, you need: toothbrush, toothpaste (travel tube), deodorant, sunscreen SPF 30+, a small bottle of body wash that doubles as shampoo, and any prescription items.
Menstrual products belong on the list too — familiar brands can be scarce in some destinations. Toss in lip balm and a small hand sanitiser for the diving trip days out.
Diving Trip Electronics & Documents
The electronics question for a diving trip is really a weight question. Phone and charger are non-negotiable. Add a 10,000 mAh power bank, a universal adapter for non-standard sockets, and noise-cancelling earbuds for transit.
A Kindle replaces books. Past the essentials, weight earns its place only through daily use — each 100 g cut is 100 g unhauled across all 7 days.
Calculation Formula
items = base_list × ceil(days/7) + climate_specific_items + activity_specific_items · for this 7-day diving trip, carry-on weight lands near 7 kgHow to Use This Calculator
- Set the days field to your real diving trip length — the checklist scales from the 7-day default.
- Choose carry-on, checked or both — the weight estimate re-targets around 7 kg for carry-on.
- Review the tropical-climate clothing block first; it drives most of the weight.
- Print the list, pack, and weigh the bag before you leave for the airport.
Worked Examples
- A 7-day diving trip (tropical climate), carry-on → ~12 items, ~7 kg.
- The same diving trip with a checked bag → ~19 items, ~14 kg.
