Great bag, just got back from Playa/Cozumel and will not go anywhere without this bag. Fit all my gear including 2 wetsuits and my extra set of fins. still had room to spare. Could easily load two full sets without any issues.

Questions and Answers for ScubaPro 8.9 lbs Porter Roller Backpack Bag:
Valeria:
Do you have the brand new Scubapro Porter Bag model or only this one (thats the previous one)? Id like a comparison between them (material, size, weight, pouches, handles, straps and so on). Thanks a lot

This is still the previous version that Scubapro is still currently shipping.

How padded is it? what is the protection for your scuba gear in the bag? i do a lot of traveling and i dont want my gear to break.

:
Any of the bags designed for scuba gear are fairly well padded and designed to hold dry or wet gear. The denier on the material tells you how heavy duty or thick the material is on the bag. 1000 to 1200 is very durable, but will be weigh more.
Valeria:
Can you please compare this bag to this other one from the link below ? I mean the differences, advantages/disadvantages between them?

The Scubapro is a bigger, more heavy duty bag and has the pockets for the fins on the outside. Both do not have the telescoping handle so the taller bag will be easier to roll.

This bag appears to exceed the deminsions for checked luggage on almost all airlines. Am I missing something?
