Mesh Dive Duffle Bag for Scuba & Snorkel Gear, XL

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.

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!

Great bag! it folds up nicely and stores almost like a large frisbee. The fabric is lightweight, but seems to be durable enough. It's a lot like the same mesh on smaller dive bags. Zippers pull easily, have finer teeth than a larger heavy duty zipper. the zipper strength matches the mesh on the bag. IT's not going to hold hundreds of pounds of stuff... I bought it to use on the back of a motorcycle - wanted a larger mesh bag, this one was nice and a great price - can put a wet tent, wet clothes, wet cover in it - strap it down - ride a bit, and things are dry. I like the little side pocket to store small things. It checked off all the boxes for me: good price point, stores easily, durable mesh, grab/carry handles. The awesome logo is a bonus. Would definitely get one again.

A good bag that fits all of your diving kit (minus a tank) as necessary. Be advised it does get heavy with everything in it, so the single strap tends to dig into the shoulder area a lot on those long walks to a pier or dock.

I am love this bag but it's honestly getting 5 stars because of the excellent customer service I received from the owner. When I took the bag out of the package the zipper on the side fell off. Somehow it had never been attached during manufacturing. The zipper and pull were both in excellent condition that's how I could tell it was just an accident and not a defect and problem with the zipper. The owner was quick to reply, very apologetic and got a new bag out to me the same day. He even let us keep the first one. I guess I'll use it as a backup. We were very appreciative. I love the bag design and that the whole thing is mesh and so breathable. It fit all my husband's gear just fine as well as some of mine. A word of advice though, if you have all your gear in it and it's quite heavy, carry it by the hand straps which are very sturdy not the over the shoulder strap. My gear is not too heavy for it but his gear with his BCD that has a steel plate in it making all of the gear together too heavy for the bag strap and he snapped the strap. This is no fault of the bag though, I don't know any straps that could handle that kind of weight being put on about an inch of fabric. (At least 80 lbs) So overall we are extremely pleased with the bag and I would definitely recommend it.

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.

I use this to carry fins, snorkel, mask, pull buoy, hand paddles and it still has plenty of room. I bring it to the pool and ocean and being able to wash and stash wet gear in a net bag is pretty great. I ran with the bag completely full for about 1 to 2 miles (dumb, I know don’t ask) and it held up great. The best part (satisfying for no real reason) is the zipper. It’s pretty well built, and oddly satisfying, like knowing your stuff is extra secure. Or maybe I’m just nuts. Great bag though (the graphic is a little silly)

I bought this bag to store my Swift Water Rescue gear. I liked that it would be easy to pick out when our teams gear is all stored together. The gear includes a drysuit, PFD, boots, gloves and helmet and extra clothing. I haven’t taken it to work yet but have no doubts it has plenty of space for everything. The bag seems well made and while I was skeptical of the zipper at first it actually seems pretty sturdy and is similar to the zippers we use on our everyday gear bags. Currently I have my family’s pfd’s in it. They dried out quickly after using them. I’ll update the review after using it at work.

La bolsa me parece práctica y muy bonita, pero si es muy frágil y se rompe si le metes lo mismo que a otras bolsas de buceo. Tal vez para equipo de snorkel o natación estaría bien.

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... :(
