If your that worried, have them shipped DHL etc... to the dive centre. Might just cost the same as the excess. We were charged £5 a KG on our last flights for over weight (Not me before you ask, I'm within the EU normal weigh  ) |
The Dark Side of the Moon is probably better serviced by a LDS... We're off to Zhongjieshan Qundao hence we need the 240Kg for kit (we're collecting the cylinders and lead in Shanghai).
The 240Kg is free (don't ask).
We thought about shipping the heavy stuff (that was plan A about 2 months ago) but it meant sending about £15K of kit into a foreign country and having to navigate all of the customs / import hurdles remotely whilst risking never actually seeing the kit again. Plus the 3 weeks without the kit this end which meant 3 weeks less of practice dives.
