Kraken AquaticsMesh Duffle Bag with Shoulder Strap | Large Dive Bag for Scuba Diving Gear, Snorkeling, Freediving, Spearfishing, Swimming & Beach | Heavy-Duty Mesh Duffel Bag for Quick Drying

Not going to lie, one of the main reasons I got the bag was because of the awesome Kraken logo. However, aesthetics of logo aside and what I think to be a pretty affordable price, the bag is great so far. I've only had it a few days now and will have chance to take it on the boat this weekend for my first open water dives (getting certified!), but so far, all my gear fits with more than enough room for growth for all the other gear I'm left to collect. I got to put my gear in and rinse it all off in it for my pool dives, however, and it worked great. All my gear got clean and all in one place and left it all to dry before storing away again with no problems.When you get the bag it's so neatly folded into a nice little circle and you easily fold it out and flip it inside out to reveal the bag, and that's when I discovered that once you do so, the zip to open the bag forms the travel pocket in addition to having the side pocket on the other side - super easy. By the way, this nice storage method makes it a great for my dry bag too. There's lots of great space all over for both the little and big stuff. I've read some people complain about rope-style mesh versus the synthetic-like plastic mesh, which is supposed to be stronger, but I had a chance to compare at a scuba show over the weekend, and some of those mesh bags looked rather flimsy with bigger spaces in between for me, while this bag is more closely spaced - but enough to let water through when you rinse your gear, and let enough air through for it all to dry. I'd have to see over time how the wear and tear factor compares, but I've been fairly rough with it in only a few days already, and it's holding up nice.I was so excited with my bag I checked Kraken Aquatics for other gear, as I'd love a dry bag too with the logo on it (It's a Kraken for crying out loud, how awesome is that!?), so I'm looking forward to seeing more products coming in from this group and buying some of my other gear with them as well. Also, kudos to the company for contacting me to let me know about my purchase on amazon and asking me if everything was in order. A really personal touch there that I did appreciate as a customer.

Just got back from using the bag on a dive trip. I’m a normal size man, XL sized gear. My BCD, fins, mask, snorkel fit in the bag. It held the weight without threat of tearing. It has good zippers and the mesh seems durable. I wasn’t careful with it, and also didn’t intentionally abuse it. The shoulder strap makes it easy to carry a full bag. It’s long enough to sling over your head to carry the weight more comfortably. I don’t have a regulator or wetsuit. The regulator should fit, but I’d probably have to set the wetsuit on top outside the bag. The small carry straps could be used to hold a wetsuit in place, while carrying the bag with the shoulder strap.A medium sized man could probably fit a full set of gear in the bag including wetsuit. I shouldn’t say I definitely couldn’t fit a wetsuit, since I didn’t try, there’s a slim chance it could be stuffed in with my other gear. I’m not complaining about the size, it is as advertised and expected.I also used it as a day bag for snorkelling. No problem fitting fins, snorkel, mask, and a drybag for clothes, etc. It can fit two sets of snorkelling gear, but then maybe not the dry bag.The two small pockets do what they should. I used the one on the inside to stow my small diving accessories: clips, torch, and so on. Plenty of room in it for those sorts of things. Outside one I used like a daybag, sunscreen, pocket things.I’m happy with the bag and would recommend buying it.

Great bag for snorkeling gear! It's large enough to hold two complete adult snorkeling sets, including fins, wetsuits, snorkels, masks and cases, an emergency kit, and some dry clothes/towel. I was concerned that this bag would be too big (like an oversized duffel bag). However, it is perfectly sized for aquatic gear, and so everything fits well, with just a little extra room to spare. Our Cressi fins are extra-long (27"), and they just fit through the top of the bag without hassle (another inch on the fins might have presented an issue). Construction quality is excellent with big zippers and nicely stitched seams. The nylon net appears to be of a high quality. And, if you turn the bag inside-out, it zips itself up into a nice little pouch with a handle.So far, we are very happy to have all of our expensive snorkeling gear in a single place that makes it easy to carry around. Excellent purchase!

Good starter bag. Came quickly and is large enough for an 11 year olds Scuba gear. Zipper is easy open/close and the option of shorter handles and a longer over the shoulder strap is nice. For an 11 year old the straps/handles are long but if you were taller than 5ft 5in this bags handles/straps should be okay. So far it has gone on two dive trips in the past week that we have had it. Mesh helps to keep the gear from getting mildewy but its still a good idea to rinse off your gear and allow it to dry outside of the bag and out of the sun-- as all divers were taught to do. The only thing I wish is that the zipper pockets at the end of the bag were padded so I could put small but sensitive equipment in there. At this point we only put dry clothing like bras and panties, that we don't necessarily at 11 want others seeing, in there.

I originally got the Large. I have a huge duffle I've been using for my whitewater kayaking gear, and I wanted something smaller. The large will fit my stuff, but it can be a little tight. It works great most of the time if I'm just using a dry top, but if I want my full dry suit it gets tight. It will still fit, but I have to be a bit more organized in my packing instead of just stuffing everything in. I got the X-Large a year later for those times when I want more gear, but I tend to just use the X-large most of the time now.The pics are of both the X-Large and Large with a spray skirt, dry suit, pfd, helmet and booties in them. The propane tank is for reference.I like how they fold into themselves when they're empty, and that you have two pockets you can use for small items (I keep a set of nose plugs and ear plugs in them).

I LOVE the design and usefulness of this bag. It fits all my gear perfectly. However, first day of using it the shoulder strap broke so I had to use a metal clip for it to hold together. Not sure if my gear was too heavy but I figured it should be strong enough to hold basic diving gear... :(
