 Which collapsible dive bag??

I have a hard bottom roller bag that is bulky and a few drawstring mesh bags that are a pain to use. Looking for zipper bags for me and my son to put fins, BC, mask, and wetsuit in. A bag for each of us. I keep my regs in their own bags. I dive all year so I go from a 1.5mil to a 8 mil suits. Also dive long fins spearing so I would like the length for them. Leaning towards the Armor but I am open to anything.


Any suggestions?

Scubapro makes a bag that will fit your needs extra long pleanty of room for ally our stuff and a thin mesh that allows for easy folding into a small size for stowing away. check here http://www.scubapro.com/en-US/USA/accessories/bags/products/mesh-sack.aspx

Also Akon did make a great bag that was a duffle/backpack type has a zipper down the side, inside drybag compartment and is 1000 denier with a heavy mesh does not fold up quite as small as the scubapro but it’s heavy duty mine has lasted 5 years so far without any problems . check here http://www.akona.com/product.php?product_id=147

Hope this helps

neither of those bags are anywhere big enough to put those fish in!

I had a dive buddy who used a backpack much the size of a kids book bag to hold ALL of her gear including her 3mil and bungeed the fins to the sides with her exercise bands. This was also her carry-on and the fins saved a lot of explaining to TSA.

I like this one > http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-75/018498/Mares-Cruise-Mesh-Duffel-Dive-Bag.html

it folds into it’s self and zips. Great to pack for travel and holds everything for the trip to the boat.



But then again, I’m a sucker fro anything with the Mares name on it.

it doesn’t matter how well you do something just as long as you loo cool doing it.
