ScubaMaxBG-632 Light Weight Mesh Back Pack w/Shoulder Strap

So I'm known for beating up my gear, and I treated this bag with my usual lack of care. Mostly by shoving way more in it than it was built for. Dragging it through bushes, water and sand. And there wasn't a single thread loose after two weeks of this treatment.I had purchased this particular mesh bag because I had seen a guy post a review which said he had bought his 6 years ago and it was still in good shape, so he felt obligated to post a review. I think this really should be a rule we all live by, because there is so much garbage on Amazon, when you stumble across some cheap Chinese made gear that actually works it's great to let everybody know. So I am just posting this to back-up what he said.It just is very sturdy construction, fits all my gear, all my wife's gear and then some. I went down a deep internet hole researching mesh bags (because I am nuts) and this is the best bang for your buck.

I bought this through prime 3 days before my first trip to the Caribbean. It arrived on time. For the price it cant be beat. I believe it was about $10, much cheaper than the other bags dedicated to snorkel gear which were 35 & up. My main driver for getting this bag was price and consistent reviews indicating it could hold two sets of gear. As a single dad who likes to travel with my kid, I end schlepping everything about 95% of the time, so the more I can consolidate bags, the better.After a lot of research I decided to opt away from my normal blue that I go for and get all of my snorkel gear in bright yellow so that if it happened to fall off in the water it would be easier to spot. This bag, while more of a fluorescent yellow, still matched my gear pretty well.Pros- It holds a ton of stuff. I ended up using this as my daily bag while in ST Thomas and St Croix and here is a list of the most I stuffed in this thing: Mares Superchannel Full Foot Fins Size 11/12, Mares Ergo Dry Snorkel, Tusa Freedom HD mask in the case, My daughters full US Divers childrens snorkel set in it's mesh bag, 3oz tube of rubber ducky sunscreen, mens oakley rash guard tee, kids rash guard tee, nikon coolpix waterproof camera, two oversized thick beach towels, couple cans of soda, a bag of seashells, change of clothes for my daughter (6yr old), and a couple of other odds and ends. This bag was able to take more, not much more but I could have fit more in it. With it stuffed this full the heel of the superchannels might stick out of the top depending on how they sit in the bag. With the bag relatively empty, it had no problem containing the superchannels with a few inches to spare.- Has plastic D ring at the top where the should strap is attached. This was awesome to clip my crushproof sunglass case to which also ended up storing my extra camera cards and things I didnt want getting wet or sandy.- Has drawstrings on two sides of the opening and has a cinch lock on both sides. Opening opens up pretty wide, full diameter of the bag iirc.Cons - Not so much cons as nice to haves- External pocket or two. One big enough to hold mask in case and another for things like phone, keys, camera etc. Maybe waterproof or at least solid to keep sand out as much as possible.- Second shoulder strap. Although just having one wasnt too bad but with only one you still have those times where you bend over or lean and the bag slides off your shoulder.- Reaching for this one but make the D ring metal. The plastic seemed thick and sturdy but I could envision situations where it might get broken off.- A separate loop at the top for hanging on a hook.So after 10 days being stuffed and unpacked and tossed around on boats and floors and cars and beaches and parking lots etc it still looks pretty new, has no rips, tears, or signs of wear and Im definitely happy with it for $16 including S&H.

We just got back from a week of snorkeling in Maui and used these many times. We got 3 of them, red, yellow and blue. They worked exactly how I wanted. The mesh helped the gear inside dry quickly while the cloth bottom kept most of the sand off of the snorkeling gear at the beach. The shoulder strap made it easy to carry our gear to the beach. It is quite a little walk from the car to the beach at Honolua Bay too but these were no problem. I loved the drawstring closure with plastic cord locks. Last time we got a zippered duffle bag for our snorkeling gear and the zipper corroded shut.

We found out after receiving our snorkel gear in the mail that the large backpack we planned to use to carry our snorkel gear to the beach on our cruise was not going to cut it, not big enough for the fins. I found this snorkel bag while searching Amazon and the price was good and so was the reviews so I bought two of them, different colors. I was pleased when I received them. The mesh is not like that thin mesh in laundry bags (which I thought it might be.) It looks strong and much better made than I actually was expecting. Some have said they carry two people's snorkel gear in one bag. It would be really cramming it in there to do that with adult fins. But then, I keep our masks in their hardshell carrying cases to keep them from ruining their shape and that takes up more space. If that isn't an issue maybe it would all fit but it would be heavy to carry. I'm an senior female and my fins, snorkel, mask, and my waterproof wallet case all fits in nice with room for a water bottle and some snacks. I can carry my own equipment (it isn't too heavy) and my husband has one for his. I don't like having my husband carry it all. Share the load! Plus, overloading it would probably shorten its lifespan. Of course I haven't used it yet in action. If it doesn't hold up or I find something wrong during our cruise, I'll revise this review. PS I like the hook ring on them. I have the bags hanging on the rafter beams in the basement on a nail, out of the way.

I ordered this for my son as we are going to the Caribbean and needed another bag to carry his "snorkel" equipment. My husband and I were scuba divers and now my son is going to be taking his scuba class this fall at college. We bought all his needed equipment (mask, fins, snorkel, booties, dive log) before going back. He wants to take it on vacation just to get a feel for it plus he will be doing a discover scuba course at one of the ports we are sailing into. It is a very nice bag for the price. It does not have a flat bottom so it would not stand on its own but it will spill out some of the sand and water as it has a small hole on the bottom. I never really compared but I am guessing that snorkel fins are much smaller than dive fins because when I put in all his equipment the bag was full. Certainly no room left for a towel. So if you are using this for snorkel only (smaller fins no booties, mask and snorkel) you will have lots of room. However if you are using it for scuba gear (larger fins, booties, mask, snorkel, dive log) expect it to be pretty filled up just with that stuff.
