Rating: Handy! Love it!
Reviewer: Lisa S., - View all my reviews
I love this bag. Use it mostly for snorkeling. I can toss it into the overhead bin on the plane. I can throw it over my shoulder and still have two hands to carry other stuff. The large compartment is big enough to hold my fins and my boots which is super handy. I only wish the space for my mask was larger. I have prescription lenses in my mask so I am super paranoid about damaging the mask...I keep it in the original plastic box which I have to carry separately or put in my other carry bag. I really wish this backpack bag had something to accommodate it. That is the only reason I gave it 4-stars. But I find this bag super handy.

Recently came back from snorkeling on 4 islands in the Carribbean. The Backpack bag made it so easy to bring my own snorkeling mask fins and snorkel. I was able to sit on a bus or walk to the ocean. The bag was top quality. It was GREAT.

Rating: Great pack
Reviewer: Margaret K., - View all my reviews
This is a great bag that can easily carry 2 sets of fins. The zip pocket for the mask is too small to fit a mask box but the mask and box fit just fine in the main compartment with the fins. I put one of those camping quick dry towels in one of the convenient pockets. Solid construction and like that it easily adjusts.

Reviewer: William Miller, - View all my reviews
I needed a small bag that I could easily pack my snorkeling gear while on travel. This bag fits the need perfectly. It is easily carried through air port security and fits the overhead storage while in flight.

Rating: Vacation saved!!
Reviewer: Susan P.,
I recently went on a cruise to the Western Caribbean and was so grateful that I had purchased my Scuba Mask, Fin & Snorkel Backpack Bag. It was so much easier to put on the backpack every time we left the ship and went on our SCUBA excursions. I didnt have to worry about safely getting on and off the dive boat because my hands were free to hold on! I would highly recommend this backpack for the traveling SCUBA diver.

Rating: fin pack
Reviewer: Bill M., - View all my reviews
I like the pack, although I agree with other reviewers in that the mask pocket is not large enough to accomodate my mask unless I take it out of its protective box.....
Other than that its perfect for my needs.

Rating: Quality Item, Works Well, Mask Pocket a Bit Small
Reviewer: Kevin K., - View all my reviews
This snorkel gear bag is constructed of high quality materials, appears to have superb workmanship, and performs its duties well. It isnt exactly the same as pictured (as of July 2012) though - the tie-downs have been removed on the actual bag. There are plenty of other loops for attaching various items, such as a larger mask bag. The mask pocket is a bit small for my liking since it is shallow front-to-back, making it necessary to deform the masks skirt significantly. It is probably fine for a short trip out to the snorkeling or dive site, but I definitely wouldnt leave my mask in the pocket for too long. Thats my only complaint, and since nearly all mask bags are too small (in my opinion) Im probably just overly and unjustifiably concerned about the mask skirt permanently deforming after being stuffed into a small pocket. Id still recommend this bag to friends with this one caveat.
If the mask pocket was 1" larger front-to-back Id have given this 5 stars instead of four, and it would be nice to still have the tie downs as shown.

Rating: Excellent pack for the serious snorkeler and diver
Reviewer: Patrick F.,
Quality made product and big enough to carry two sets of snorkel gear including 2 sets of large fins. The double straps on back make it easy to hike into remote spots for some snorkeling. If you are looking for a small pack to carry your gear this isnt it. This is a large pack that can carry all you need for a day of snorkeling including beach towel, water and food. It also is great for a dive because it keeps the mask, fins and snorkel and other smaller gear organized and easy to carry on your back. Folds up flat so it fits nicely in your luggage too.

Rating: Great Quality
Reviewer: robert m.,
I ordered this backpack for an upcoming trip to Hawaii and am very pleased with the purchase. The quality of this bag is second to none. It has loads of room and many features usally found only on more costly bags. Also it arrived ahead of schedule.

Rating: Holds it all
Reviewer: Tim Evans, - View all my reviews
Great pack for a man. Holds everything needed for a day of snorkeling (fins, booties, mask, snorkel, towel, water, lotion, etc.), or diving fins, mask, etc. for scuba.
The wife didnt like it cause it is so big (made for diving fins). Gonna have to get her a shorter one.
