Best Dive and Dive Travel bags

Posted by Elma Tarr on September 24th, 2024

Whether you dive close to your residence or travel to dive, a dive bag is not just handy but essential. Keeping all your precious gear together and for ease of loading or unloading without any damage, a dive bag will be the solution.

If you are a regular traveler, you might want to consider a bag or case that is light and strong. We all know what happens to luggage on an airplane. The last thing that you want is to pay for an expensive well deserved holiday in a remote location with a broken regulator.

Dive bags, like all scuba gear, come in many different sizes and colors. Some bags are mesh bags, some are made from plastic laminated materials and then there are the hard cases. Let's have a look at some of the best dive bags the market has to offer.

Best Waterproof Dive bag

Cressi Moby 5 Hydro Dive Gear Bag

329.95

There are many waterproof dive bags on the market, but the Cressi Moby 5 Hydro dive bag is not just waterproof, but durable and lightweight. The bag is crafted from durable 300 and 400 Denier fabric with a stylish waterproof coating and has wheels. This means it can be dragged by the pull handle instead of carrying it. The main compartment is spacious and opens on 3 sides. Thus making it easy to access your gear. The Cressi Moby 5 Hydro Dive gear bag also offers multiple pockets, including front below pockets and side pockets to stow away your fins. The Moby 5 was designed for convenience and comfort. The wheels can be replaced when it's done some milage and the telescopic handle can be pushed down and out of the way the bag can be used as a backpack with adjustable straps that can also be tucked away when not in use.

The Moby 5 only weighs 5.1kg (11.25lb), the zippers are heavy-duty YKK zippers and hold a capacity of 115 liters (4 cubic feet)

Best Mesh Bag

Mares Cruise Mesh Bag

83.95

The Mares Cruise Mesh Bag is an ideal bag to keep wet gear together. If you are a scuba- or free-diver, I am sure you have been on a boat where all the gear gets put into one pile and you sort through the items once you get back to land to locate your soft gear. It's no mission if you have distinct fins, but if not, some dive buddy can take your set by accident leaving you with missing gear. The Mares Cruise Mesh Bag is great for that purpose. Taking a group of students to the pool where everyone has their bag is not just professional but also organized and will save you time if you are an instructor. The bag is made completely out of mesh material and ensures excellent water drainage and ample airflow, ensuring access water drains well, reducing the risk of odors and aiding in the drying process. It's lightweight and foldable and can be taken on any traveling dive trip.

The regulator bag – A must for a traveler

Tusa Regulator Carrying Bag

38.00

If you travel often, it’s best to invest in a Tusa regulator Carrying Bag. No matter where I dive, I only use my regulator. I know when it was last service and in whose mouth it was last. I guess since the pandemic is also become a bit of a germaphobe. My mouthpiece is molded to suit my teeth, like the Mares JAX mouthpiece, as I used to suffer from sore gums due to the manufacturer's standard mouthguards. It's my security blanket. Traveling with your regulator does come with risks and even if you do have a good travel dive bag, the regulator can still be damaged inside the bag while traveling.

The Tusa Regulator Carrying Bag is a shoulder strap that can easily be swung over the shoulder for easy carrying. There are internal pockets that can be used for smaller objects like a spare mouthpiece, O-rings, or cable ties. The Tusa regulator bag is lined with thick padding and comes with durable zippers
