Scuba Gear Reviews by Peter M.

Scubamax Mesh Drawstring Bag
Rating: Great for the Price 3/19/2007

Great bag to carry on the dive boat and to dip everything into fresh water at the conclusion of the dive. Edges of BCs, etc. can get caught in the mesh, but that would be expected. Overall, great for the price.

Akona Roller Backpack Dive Bag
Rating: Overall Good Buy 3/19/2007

i used this bag on a march 2007 trip to jamaica. i was able to pack the following: 2 sets of fins (1 set in the fin pockets and 1 set in the bottom of the main compartment), 2 bcs, 2 shorty wetsuits, 2 skins, 2 sets dive boots, 2 dive masks. one regulator and computer in the regulator bag included with this bag carried as hand luggage on the plane the other regulator was carried in a separate reg bag. the main bag was also carried aboard the dive boat on a couple of occasions to facilitate carrying all of the gear. it fit easily under the seat. it did have a tendancy to tip over when fully loaded. weight-wise, i expect that i was close to 50 poinds, but as the flight was a charter, weight was not closely watched. the included security sleeve is a bit hard to get on a fully loaded bag, and it is not easy to roll the bag sometimes with the sleeve in place as the sleeve could get caught in the wheels. i did not use the shoulder straps. i would give the bag 5 stars except for its tendancy to tip over when fully loaded.
