What does the SSR code DIVE specifically refer to?

The SSR code DIVE specifically refers to "Diving equipment (sport equipment)." This code is used to indicate that a passenger will be traveling with diving gear, which includes items such as tanks, wetsuits, and other necessary equipment specific to the sport. Recognizing this code is important for airlines to ensure that they can accommodate the unique handling and storage needs of this type of sports equipment, especially because diving gear can be bulky and requires careful management to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

In the context of air travel, properly identifying and categorizing such equipment allows the airline to plan for adequate space and the necessary procedures to manage the transportation of these items while ensuring that they arrive at the destination in good condition. Other SSR codes serve different purposes, such as accommodating passengers with disabilities or managing companion seating requests, but DIVE is distinctively tied to diving equipment.
