AQUALUNG Explorer II Dive Gear Roller Bag - Waterproof Scuba Diving Equipment Travel Case for Professional Divers | Perfect for Dive Trips, Travel & Underwater Adventures

We are big into travel diving (live in the Philadelphia area, so no great local diving) and have been on the hunt for the right bag(s) that can transport our equipment, especially on planes, be good for transporting gear when on location, and adequately protect our gear. My husband and I both have a full set of dive equipment we travel with except for wetsuits - BCD, regulator, snorkel, mask, fins, torches, SMB, booties, underwater camera housing, and a few other small items. We recently received this bag and loved it, though we haven’t traveled with it yet, and even decided to purchase a second after seeing what it was like in person.We will be traveling with these bags to Cozumel and Riviera Maya in Mexico this December and will update our review when we have seen how they travel. Here are thoughts so far:Pros:-ideal size for one set of gear, with the caveat that it would be a bit of a tight squeeze to get a full length wetsuit in the bag too-fabric and mesh pockets on the sides provide flexible additional storage-material feels very strong and sturdy-exterior fin storage means the bag can be kept on the smaller side without losing fin storage-size enables bag to be carried on for a flight-compresses down to a very small size when empty, making it an option for bringing on dive boats without hogging space-lots of color options to pick fromCons:-quite heavy for carrying around on your back (especially when tired after a dive) when filled with equipment - will be even heavier when gear is wet-exterior fin storage does not provide protection if checking the bag on a flightThe photos accompanying the review show the bag when filled with all equipment mentioned at the top of the review.
