Scuba Diving Backpack - 65L Large Travel Backpack for Scuba Diving and Snorkeling Gear & Equipment Holds Snorkel, Fins, and More, Bag Only (Black)

This bag fits more than it looks like. I packed a wetsuit, regulator bag, go pro camera and rig, dive boots, bcd, two masks, fins, a towel and clothes for 2-3 days (jeans, t shirts, underwear, socks, flip flops, bathing suit, full shower kit) into this thing. It's a super tight pack, but the material is like a military duffel bag. The regulator bag that it came with EASILY fit my regulator with octopus and dive computer with room to spare. Looking at it, I think it would easily fit on a plane as a carry-on.

Bag is very well made, heavy duty material, plenty of storage, attachment hooks all around the exterior of the bag, big shoulder straps and padding on the area that is against your back.

I received the SLINRKE scuba diving backpack. My first impression was very positive. The backpack has a lot of storage options and appears to be of decent quality. The zippers and quick disconnect buckles all work well. The shoulder straps and back are padded. The backpack is pretty much sealed up when zipped. It doesn't allow for any air or items to dry inside. I would not recommend keeping wet items zipped up for long. We all know what happens when dive equipment doesn't dry. You will soon become the most avoided person on your dive trip.I laid out most of everything I would need for a basic day of diving. I was able to get everything in but weights and a tank. I really don't think it would be reasonable to expect to get those items in this backpack. If you plan to take weights, you may want to get a weight belt and have them around your waste. With some cramming, I could possibly get a full 3mm wetsuit in with my equipment. A shorty will work.I am not a huge fan of the top zipper for the main storage compartment. It does allow enough of an opening to get a BCD in, but I feel like I am cramming items. Also, cramming wet items back into the backpack is not fun. I would appreciate if you could at least unzip the top half of the backpack for inserting the BC, dive boots, reg bag, and other items.The fins pockets, on the sides of the backpack, are not quite large enough for regular size fins. I found it easier to just use the straps and buckles to attach the fins to the side of the bag. I really like the integrated fin straps and buckles.The top and side pockets are nice for holding items like my mask, dive PC, and other dive extras. I am able to store my car keys, phone, wallet and other items in one of the two side pockets.This bag does have a decent amount of storage options, but I feel like it could use some improvements. I find that I probably wouldn't be able to take this on a long trip or a flight. It is slightly too large to be a considered a carry-on bag and does not provide enough protection to be a checked bag. It could work well for a dive boat trip or a short hike to a quarry.While I am not completely satisfied with the design of this bag, I am satisfied with the quality of the materials and some storage options. I feel like this bag slightly met my expectations.

So if you wear size 13 shoes with a comparable dive fin size of xxl do not expect to get your fins to fit in the mesh side bags that are supposed to hold them. The foot pocket end if you have the spring retainer strap does not fit as well. My fins will fit in the bag but that is kind of opposite of the design philosophy.

My dad started a diving hobby so we got him a backpack to fit his gear. He loved how large the backpack is and he was able to fit all his gear. Great buy!

Very inaccurate depiction.. after receiving i attempted to load my gear and the side pockets for the fins is WAY to small... only a child's small fins set would fit.

Great to store all your gear heavy duty

I am long retired but I used to design scuba diving equipment for a living and when we were designing bags I wish we had SLINRKE as a resource. I am shocked that they can make and sell this backpack on AMAZON for this price. WOW, WOW, WOW!The craftsmanship and quality is superb and the attention to detail is really admirable. All of the materials are first rate and I can't see where any corners have been cut, to the contrary, I see all kinds of extras thrown in simply as an effort to apparently please the customer.I read the other reviews and let me give you a cross reference into the way this manufacturer was thinking as they were developing this product.1. There is no mesh or other outlets to the big compartment in the back for a very good reason. The manufacturer assumes that after the dive you are going back to your home or to your resort to rinse your gear and that your gear will not be in this compartment long enough to develop a growth of bacteria that would stink up anything. A small bottle of Lemon Grenaide would solve any issues if you were waylaid.2. The backpack straps don't come off. Simply an added expense and more bulk. The purpose of this bag is to have your gear with YOU at all times and you take this on the plane with you to make sure it arrives with. When you tell most airlines you have $5,000 of dive computers and regulators with you in your bag and this is how I make a living. I tell them I will not check it and they are always accommodating. Of course I have a couple $8 box of chocolates from Walgreens with me.3. There seems to be many misgivings about carrying this on an airplane. I have seen people can full BACKPACKS with tats, sleeping bags etc. carry them on the plane. The airlines let this generally happen because if the people are forced to check them, the backpack is unprotected and liability goes up, so they turn their eyes and hold their noses. One other thing you can do is put a very nice National Geographic Badge on the center of your backpack and that's all I will say about that.The only improvement I could see is a better design for the fins to be in a pocket on the outside on either side OR a separate pocket that can be attached to the back that can be detached once you get to your seat or you can detach and carry as your carry on but can reattach when you exit the plane.Summary: There is nothing else as robust, as complete and as mission oriented as this SLINRKE Scuba Diving Back Pack. It really is a winning design! I'm giving it all I can - FIVE STARS!
