Rating: Fab dive travel bag!
Reviewer: Jeanette Despal,
Was horrified to realize the "regular" luggage I was using as my dive/clothes bag when traveling weighed a whopping 12 pounds. Prior to heading off for the Maldives I decided I needed a "lighter" alternative. Not only did it hold all my gear and personal stuff-I was able to buy gifts for loved ones and still had room left over. I am beyond happy with this bag and would highly recommend it to any diver that loves to travel across the planet for new and exciting dive experiences and go "LIGHT"!!!!

This bag is only ~7lbs empty, well made and easy to pack all the dive gear, a 3 and a 5ml wet suit and week or two worth of clothes. The blue trim makes it easy to spot on the baggage carousel. Folds flat for easy stoing on a live aboard.

Rating: Packed for Saudi
Reviewer: joseph d.,
I bought the bag when I was back home in Houston and used it to pack all my scuba gear to take back to Saudi Arabia. I had no probleams gettting all my gear in it and then some. I especially like the big heavy duty wheels and zipper. I plan to use the bag on my next trip in a few weeks to Vietnam.

Reviewer: Peter R.,
The Bag appears to be well built. I have not used it yet. I an quite interested to see how well it will stand up to the airline abuse. This is the first time I broke down and was willing to pay decent money for a bag. It has a good warranty according to the company.

Rating: First trip a success!
Reviewer: ROBERT CRAATS,
Just back from first trip with new bag. Very light and reduced my starting weight by 3 lbs. Easily held my gear & my wifes snorkle gear as well as sandles, towels and miscilannious stuff in the big lower pocket. Lots of room for clothes in the upper pocket. It also does not look like a dive bag so I think a little less appealing to theives. Great bag, only negative comment is the strap guides sewin onto the outside of the bag to hold the straps in place are very tight making it a little bit of a struggle to get the buckle through. Overall, very happy with choice.

Rating: Keep luggage weight down
Reviewer: Tabby S.,
The Stahl Curacao Clipper weighs only 7 lb. which is important in these days of decreasing airline baggage weight limits. A full set of gear easily stows in the large bottom compartment and clothes in the top section.
Its well made and stands up well even when full.
I found a couple of minor annoyances with the bag. It has compression straps which need to be threaded through small loops and there is no side handle making it a little harder to wrestle onto baggage carts.

Reviewer: Randy Dvorak, - View all my reviews
Awesome bag! Hold both my wifes and my gear. BC, boots, fins, mesh bags, lavacore skins. All loaded weighs in at 49#, just below airline over weight bag fees. You wont be disappointed by this bag.

Hello Vince, in the zipper pull tabs there are holes that you can connect the two and slide a TSA lock thru to lock the zippers together.
