Gear Bags

[Cacia]

I use the SP version of that bag. (overpriced, but a gift) The reason I like that style, is that I put my big D-100 in housing and strobe attached on top and wrap the leash around the handle.A bungee with hooks would be better. This way I can actually get all my gear from my car in the lot to the boat, solo. It is a bit precarious, but it saves me a second trip.

I covet the Stahl-sac version next. I really like that brand and they have a lifetime warranty. The Scubapro bag is about two tears old and already shot. I like the bags that hold two sets of gear the best. If I am solo, I can stuff lots of clothes in the extra space.

I would suggest going with the Tusa BP-2 Roller Backpack. It has six compartments with five pull downs. Great storage for alot of different gear.

I've been looking at this one for awhile. But is the fin pocket wide enough for a pair of SP Jetfins Medium?

Will a backinflate BC fit in the main compartment along with a 3mm wetsuit, booties, a light and some smaller items?

I use something like this: It is cheap, replaceable, and huge. It dries quickly. Fits everything nice and snug and if you pad the regulator you will be in good condition.

Mine is a little bigger but you get the idea...

I believe that the right tool is needed for each application.

Car to dive site, versus airport to destination each present a different set of criteria.

Since I live in Minnesota most of my diving is via airport. Here is what I have decided best suits my needs.

Traveloc 2000 - this has rollers and serves as a good sized, quality check-on.
Vented duffel with a shoulder strap - for dive gear, easy to transport at destination.
Dry bag - clothes and check on items, batt-charger, meds, luxury items.
Duffel and Dry bag inside the Traveloc with any other check-on material.

Akona semi-hard case for reg and computer, carry on of course.
A legal sized and Comfortable backpack - Carry on with Reg-case inside.
Fanny pack with camera, travel docs, cash, pen, sunglasses.

Hope this helps!

Can anyone recommend a decent gear bag? The one I have is basically a large snorkle gear bag. I need something that I can pretty much get everything into. Prefer one with wheels and handle.

My gear:

Dive Rite Transpac II
Scubapro Twin Jets

and the usual extras, computer, mask, snorkel, save a dive kit, etc.

Thanks.
