Great gear bag

Very useful to carry gear to the boat. Plenty of room. Comfortable padding on the straps and durable handle. I recommend the Bonaire bag by Stahlsac.

What more could you want?

This is a great bag...As a professional diver I opted for the larger Stahlsac mesh backpack that I could fit all my gear into and I could not be happier. Tons of room, excellent construction, at a fantastic price!

Big and sturdy but needs a better cinch

Almost too big! Holds two divers' gear and well designed except for the cinch that closes the bag. I've heard the cinch can be replaced so I'm looking into that. The bag itself is sturdy. Held up well on its first overseas dive trip.

Excellent, my first purchase of a Stahlsac product, I am looking into more of their lineup.

Outstanding product. It is large for a mesh bag though you need to consider the application. I used this for myself with plenty of room to spare, I also used it when my spouse's was diving with me, which required two sets of fins, masks, snorkels, neoprene booties, gopro camera in a pelican case, and the stuff in the dry pocket (also outstanding), all fit with room to spare. You could easily carry a full wetsuit + kit for a single diver. The bag was dropped off the dive boat into the surf and also dragged through the sand while full if kit, no big deal, a quick rinse to clean up without any ingress to the dry pocket.

Very Convenient

Wow what a handy thing to have!,.. keeps your still dripping gear in one easily portable place where it can dry faster. I actually is large enough to fit my entire gear. I can place it on my shoulders comfortably freeing both of my hands ,...

Love the size and ruggedness

This bag is nice and big to carry everything you need. The full length zipper on the side makes putting in and taking out items at the last minute easy.

Works Very Well for Canoe Trips and Sailboat Racing Gear Too!

These bags are also great for canoe trips and sailboat racing gear! Unlike most bags which are too small or poorly constructed, these are quite large and about as tough as a mesh bag gets. Stores paddling/sailing wetsuits, booties, gloves, paddling/sailing dry tops, VHF radio, etc., with dry area for wallet, keys, iphone, etc. Stores nicely in canoe of racing sailboat when empty and allows everything to dry out when travelling home. Only modification would be a heavier abrasion resistant bottom (Cordura).

NOT DURABLE

I bought this here on LP less than 2 years ago. I have about 100 dives on, so figure about 50 boat trips. The first thing that broke was the zipper. It just sort of jammed about 1/3 of the way down. Then the zipper started to unzip below it! Since I was on a trip to the keys I had to do emergency repair. Crazy glued the slider where it was jammed and below it to hold zipper together. Finally that gave way as the slider finally just broke off. Naturally while on a drive trip. Punched holes on the material on both sides of the zipper and zip tied it shut. Shoulder straps starting to come off..... I paid extra on LP when I purchased this because of the Stahlsac name. Never again.

Great buy

Perfect for getting all your equipment to and from the dive site. It carries both my wife and I's bc's, wetsuits, regs and anything else I can haul. I can get heavy but it all depends on what you put in. Great bag I recommend to anyone looking for a large gear bag.

Fantastic in every way

This bag is perfect. Easy to load and unload (full length zipper on the side), easy to carry (backpack straps, handle on top, handle on the side), drains well (drain holes in the bottom), large capacity (BC, regulators, fins, mask, boots, 3mm and 5mm suits). A must have.

The right size for a Tropical Boat Dive

I decided to streamline my boat gear for Caribbean diving. I now wear my Skin to the boat and carry my BC like a back-pack. I needed a smaller bag for everything else and this bag fits the bill. It's sturdy and holds my change of clothes in a dry bag, fins, mask, camera. etc. It has a dry pouch for my keys and wallet and it packs small and light for airline travel. I can also use it for a beach back-pack.

great product,very large

this is a very large bag, it fits all my equipment and then some. Zipper on the side top to bottom makes it easy to access items at the bottom. I have the WD14 Stahlsac also, would definitely recommend the bigger WD16 bag.[...]

Bonaire Deluxe Mesh rocks

Great size- holds everything, BC, 5mm suit, fins, reg, mask, spare parts in the pocket(also good for keys and glasses & anti-fog. Full length waterproof storage- if you go on dive boats, you'll really appreciate this. Mesh helps your gear air dry, and the straps are comfortable to haul everything at one time. And the price- don't pass this one up. I need to order one for my other half!

High Marks for this Dive Bag

The durability and size are excellent features of this bag, but I find the best feature to be the variety of pockets. The standard compartment (large), dry bag along the length of the bag and the small pocket in the front provide flexible functionality to stow your gear. I like this bag enough that I bought one for my girlfriend as well. We are both very satisfied with its performance. Nice product from Stahlsac.

Loved this bag, Holds everything!

I just used this on a two week cruise that I did 14 dives. It held all my equipment and was easy to get on and off the ship. Strong, durable, nice looking and easy to pack up. I was easily able to carry it on my back even after diving and equipment was a little wet.

Too large to be practical

This bag is way too large to be practical as a boat bag. With just one persons gear it looks funny and is difficult to handle because it hangs down so far. You could easily put two divers' gear in this bag but then it would be uncomfortably heavy. Rolled up it takes up a lot of space in your luggage. Also it has no side zipper. Do not buy. There are better alternatives!

Great Bag!

I compaired this to the Akona and found this to be the better bag. This has both the waterproof pocket that protects your back from getting wet and a full zipper on the side to help reach lower items.

large bag that will hold a complete set of gear. Down side is that it does not pack easy into luggage for plane travel.

Purchased Based on Reviews Divers

I have been sport diving since 1972. I wish I had this bag on the days I had to carrying a lot of equipment. Thanks to recomendations of others divers they were right on target. This bag is great. Now I can carry all the gear for myself and my wife at one time and make one trip. Good design! I had the old duffle bag on wheels and the wheels would just get stuck from the weight or fall off.

Great Boat Bag

Looked at many boat bags and this was by far the best I found. Has a large dry pocket in the back and is big enough to hold a full kit with extra room for miscellaneous items. Padded and adjustable straps makes this backpack comfortable and easy to carry.

Great Boat Bag

I compared the Stahlsac Bonaire Boat Bag to many other products on the market and selected this product for the large carrying capacity, huge dry bag and back-pack straps. It easily collapses and can be stowed for travel. I bought one for myself and one for my wife.

Absolutely great gear bag!

This is just a great find! Get yours before the price goes up because I cant find anything wrong with it! It is large enough for two sets (mine and my wife's) of scuba gear, PLUS it has a dry storage compartment inside the bag big enough for t-shirts and a couple of towels. The best thing (from the guy who has to schlep the gear) is the really comfortable straps, just throw the gear on your back, it's comfortable and you have both hands free.

Best bag on the market

By JAMES B.

Excellent bag. Big and tough. I really like the built in dry sack for towels, shirts wallets etc. However, the opening to the internal dry sack is a bit narrow and of course anything you put in there robs space from the main sack area. Overall though, a really excellent bag. I looked at quite a few before buying this one and am very happy with it

What more could you want?

This is a great bag...As a professional diver I opted for the larger Stahlsac mesh backpack that I could fit all my gear into and I could not be happier. Tons of room, excellent construction, at a fantastic price!

In addition to the front pocket for smaller items, it also features a patented dry compartment built-in! With a molded rubber top carry handle and durable light weight nylon bottom.

The great thing about a mesh bag is it allows you to bring your travel gear bag when security is an issue, and once you arrive at your diving destination you can transfer you gear to the mesh bag and use it instead of getting the travel bag wet.

After rinsing simple hang, the bag up and let your gear drip and air dry, ready for your next day of diving.
