We brought our own dive gear. Our regs, computers, and cameras/housings are taken on as carry on baggage. All our other gear gets packed in a regular bag and we tipped the scales just shy of 50lbs. Bring your mask as carry on if you have a prescription mask or you have issues with finding one that fits. At least you will have the essentials for your dive.
Tropic Air doesn't seem to worry about the weight too much. I was shocked they got all the bags on the aircraft. It's the airline that you are flying on down to BZE that will be the issue. We were on United/Continental and they are particular about the overweight/excess baggage. They'll stick it to you for overweight ($200). We were allowed one "free" bag and any extras were $40.
We've got it down to a science now.
