Box or bag for gear

[Sbiriguda]

I already have regs bag and for travels abroad I use a normal bag, no problems.
For local dives and training I use the same bag, but it is uncomfortable to pack it when the gear is wet

I am considering these:

Bag, one ot the 2 below
90 liters

120 liters

I would like to add a mesh bag to carry the equipment on the boat or even from the locker room to the pool side

I don't have much more space for equipment. As I said, I don't need it for long travels, only for local travels, and it must not leave the car trunk wet. I prefer the bag, I am still undecided between 90 and 120 liters

I just use a crate for local dives - fits all my gear (except tanks and weights), goes neatly in the car, stacks at home (we have 3 divers in the house).

I personally use a big plastic tub I got from Walmart something like below. It works good and only thing I don’t put in there is my weight belt and Some extra little things that go into a bucket.

Well... that's a simple and good idea.
I am considering to buy:

1) 90 liters trolley bag

2) 20 liters dry bag (for shades, etc)

3) 75 liters dry bag (to put gear and then the dry bag goes into the trolley)

4) crate like the one above (since it is cheap and it can also be used for washing the gear) or box

I think in my case trolley bag could be better since I am using it also for travelling to other parts of my country by train or internal flights

Ikea crate would do I think

I use a reasonably sturdy box in the back of my car for local diving along with a mesh bag for boat use.

For travel I take the mesh bag for boat diving packed with the rest of my gear in a hard shell suitcase.

My wife has one of these for local diving. Inexpensive (around $21.00 at Walmart), lightweight yet durable (we've been using it for 3 years now and it's still in great shape), lockable (with padlock), and it rolls. We put a nylon webbing strap on the end opposite the wheels for a handle. Holds all her gear plus some of mine (minus tanks.) Some dive boat operators will even allow it on-board. And it's great for transporting wet gear on the way home.

I have a large Akona mesh backpack gear bag that can hold all my gear (minus tanks, of course.)

I have a large Akona mesh backpack gear bag that can hold all my gear (minus tanks, of course.)

That's also a very good idea I think. I noticed that Akona products are difficult to find and expensive in Europe
I found this one instead:

So I would use:

1) 15 liters dry bag (personal objects)
2) 75 liters dry bag (gear)
3) Mares/Akona mesh backpack, perhaps if the gear is wet and put in the dry bag it would be the same as a dry packback
4) crate just to put in the car trunk

I too like big buckets to put wet gear in. Or two smaller ones for heavier configurations.

I got a giant roller box with a lid and snap handles to hold it on. I just set the wet bag in the box so it isn't dripping in the car. Got it at Costco or Sam's (someplace local). The lid is nice if there is a long drive back and the gear starts smelling a little funky. The key is to size the box so the bag fits in.
