Diving Cylinders Provided that the cylinders are below 280 kPa (2.8 bar or 40 psi), these can be carried. It may, however, be difficult for check-in staff to verify this and you may be asked to empty the cylinder. Once emptied, the cylinder valve should be closed to prevent moisture entering the cylinder. Diving Cylinders that are above 280 kPa (2.8 bar or 40 psi) cannot be carried. |
