Questions & Answers

VANCE B : Has Akona corrected the exposed nuts, screws, etc. issue on the inside of the bag that several individuals have complained?  I certainly understand that this could create a big problem on a dive trip.GENE C : No, the Akona Chelan I ordered 11/28/2022 still had exposed fasteners. This was one of several factors that led me to choose the Cressi Moby 5 over the Akona Chelan. I compared both side by side and ended up returning the Akona Chelan. For one thing, I thought the Chelan (listed as 149L volume) would have a lot more room than the Moby 5 (listed at 115L volume), but after seeing the bags side by side I have no idea how they're coming up with such different numbers. The main compartment volume of the Moby 5 as calculated by my measurements was within about 1% (less than) of the Chelan. The Moby 5's zippers worked much more smoothly, it seemed to have higher quality wheels, it included padding to protect your gear, and even came with a regulator bag. My first dive bag was an Akona purchased in 1995 that I really loved and I wanted to like the Akona Chelan, but after seeing both I'd definitely recommend the Moby 5 instead.
SARAH W : It states that dimensions are 31"x21"x14". That adds to 66. This is over the 62"max allowable on most airlines. HAve you had problems traveling by air with this bag? or extra fees?KELSIE E : I had no problem traveling with this bag. I brought it from Guam through Japan and had no Issues checking it. I was charged fees, but it was my second bag on that flight. I was only charged the typical 2nd bag fees.JIM G : I had no problem traveling within the US. I haven't yet traveled internationally with it.
ROBERT F : Are the YKK zippers metal or plastic?  Is the telescoping handle mechanism rust resistant.  Are the wheel axels rust resistant.  My two other bags have had age problems with corrosion of these parts and became unusable.LYNN M : Zippers are all metal and very heavy duty! Handle is powder coated so should not rust. Axel and wheels holding up nicely. Only issue I have is fabric near wheels is chewed up due to rolling over rough terrain. I really like the bag though! Very roomy!!LARRY G : I am not sure about all your questions but the handle mechanism seems to work smoothly. The wheels are also smooth rolling too. I've only used this bag a half dozen times and so far no issues. I bought it primarily because it is light weight and because of the pouches for fins, regulator, etc. Hope this helps,
YVONNE B : What is the warranty of this bag?Mario C : This bag has a limited lifetime warranty. we are correcting the information on our website, below is the link to the manufacturer where it is correctly stated. thank you <a href="https://www.akona.com/products/gear-bags/product/~911-CHELAN?filter_87=1" target="_blank">https://www.akona.com/products/gear-bags/product/~911-CHELAN?filter_87=1</a>
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?OVIDIO A : capacitySALLY F : LightweightCHARLES S : really like the features and it seemed to be reasonably priced.DENISE K : Nice size and plenty of extra spacesJESSICA R : I like my old akona bag and it was time to replace itDANIEL E : It is the same brand and is similar to the bag that I have owned for 10 years. I've been extremely happy with it.JOSHUA D : This is my current dive bag for the past 9 years. Still nothing has come out that beats this bag. You can fit everything in it you need to travel and extra. I can fit 2 pairs of fins in this bag one pair in each fin pocket. 2 pairs of masks. So you can carry a back up pairs of fins&masks. Being at only 8 lbs. it leaves you room to pack another 42 lbs. with American Airlines before you get to the over sized bag fee. That is a lot of weight. I don't know about the other airlines weight policy.LARRY G : My GF has this bag and it's pretty nice. I am replacing a very heavy Pelican case because this bag is a great deal for the money - lots of room and pockets for reg, mask and fins.CARLOS G : good reviews

Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

Roomy, with good pocket configuration. Excellent but not perfect.

Great bag. Roomy. Good pocket configuration. Fairly lightweight. Excellent room for a full scuba set including 7mm wetsuit, gloves, hood, regulator, BCD, mask, SMB, camera, lights, etc. Still some room left after all that. External pocket are a great convenience. Two exterior pockets with mesh drainage for fins. My ApexRK3 fins fit together on one side, leaving room on the other side for another pair or some other gear. Roomy! My gripes: 1. The exposed nuts, bolts and screw heads inside could snag or scratch gear. 2. The bottom edge is not sufficiently offset from the bags edge, resulting in scratching the tough fabric exterior, potentially wearing it out some day. Slightly bigger wheels would address that issue while making it easier to rool.

Nice Bag

Bag looks very well made and has plenty of room. Holds all the gear I need. Only thing they could have done different was cover up the screw heads inside that could possibly snag your gear.

Will cut a wetsuit and horrible service

Item arrived possibly missing parts because the screws on the bottom and extremely sharp and would cut right through a wetsuit. Contacted customer service four days ago and cannot still get a response on this issue. Leisure pro used to be a great company to deal with but apparently customer service is no longer a priority.

Lightweight but seems sturdy enough

We haven?t used/traveled with it yet but it is super lightweight so we should have no problems with weight restrictions. Our other Akona dive bag is older, super heavy duty but weighs more.

Excellent dive bag

Awesome dive bag.. light and roomy. Absolutely love the side pockets for fins and boots. Gotta be a little careful because the bag tends to tip over if not packed properly... but still an awesome product.

Too small for fins

Seems well made but it's too small for fins, so pretty useless as a dive bag. I guess I should have paid more attention to the interior dimensions. Cost me $10 bucks to return, unfortunately.

Leisure Pro is a very reputable company and easy to do business with.

The Akon’s dive gear bag I ordered from Leisure Pro arrived in a timely manner. It was as described, heavy duty, roomy and good wheels and handle. I love the bag and would order more gear from Leisure Pro.
