I got my Dive Caddy today, and let me tell you, I was a little overwhelmed. It was a mass of nylon, straps, buckles, and more buckles. I'll admit I was a little scared and Mayes have peed a little, but I carried on.
First of all, I'm sure most of you have already seen the videos and reviews, so I'll be brief.
Once I figured out how everything worked, I pulled a bunch of gear out to see how everything fit. Initially, all the buckles and straps looked like overkill, but upon stuffing a bunch of gear in there I was glad for the overkill. I didn't try overstuffing it, I simply threw in some basics:
2 3mm wetsuits
Boots
Gloves
SS BP
Fins
Reg
I didn't bother with the spider and turtle bags as the seemed self explanatory.
I was surprised at how well everything and how much room I still had left. I was especially surprised how comfortable the shoulder straps were, very much like a backpacking backpack. I'm not entirely sure it would be accepted as a carry-on once fully packed, but if you packed lightly, you might be able to get away with it.
At DRIS's sale price, it was a great purchase, and can't wait until I get to test it out on a trip.
