SCUBAPRO Porter Diving Bag

Great bag light so you can put more gear in to stay under the 50 lbs check bag limit

My wife and I bought two of these bags. After only two dive trips, one has a rip in its side, and each has small holes in the fabric. The bags were approximately 2/3 full because if filled they would exceed the 50# per bag airline wight limit. There are no containment straps inside the bags, so the loads shift to the bottom (wheel end) when they are rolled along. In order to roll the bags, one must effectively kick the wheels out from under, it so it tips enough to rest on the wheels. At this point the bag is nearly horizontal (I'm 5'10") because the soft handle has so much slack in it. At 5'2', my wife found it nearly impossible to roll without simply dragging it. The bag hits you in the back of the legs as you walk and has virtually no side-to-side stability. It easily turns over onto its side while rolling and, due to its lack of structure it is difficult to get it back onto its wheels. In summary, while the bags' concepts seem sound, in practice they are extremely difficult to use and appear to be made of material incapable of handling airport baggage handlers. Buy with caution.

Nicely designed bag but the bottom handle fell apart returning from the very first trip - bag had < 50 lbs of gear in it, this needs to be a bit tougher for scuba travel use

I bought the bag before our 8/2 domestic dive trip after the ScubaPro salesperson assured us this was perfect for flying with gear for two (regs, fins, BCDs, masks). Used for one round-trip direct flight from DTW to FLL. Once in Florida, we used only our mesh dive bags for transporting individual gear to boats. The Scubapro bag never left our room. The handle broke as we repacked for the flight home. We were hoping this was a singular incident and would like a replacement but Amazon says to contact the seller, and Scubapro says to contact Amazon... of course, after they got their money! Purchase another bag from a different company!!

Horrible to travel with! Supposed to roll so you don't have to carry it...nope! It flops around so much since the bag isn't sturdy. I put my fins on the bottom to give it a more solid backing and still didn't roll nicely. I ended up having to carry it on my back which defeats the purpose to it rolling! I'll be building muscles using it but not a good thing in this case. The picture makes it look really solid...misleading! It fits all my dive gear but it's not sturdy.

Very poor quality. there is no rigidity at all. Stay away.

Tearing on bottom after one trip. Would not recommend If traveling by airplane, the bottom will not hold up well.

I used this bag TWO times, and not it is impossible to roll around because it has no structure and just flops everywhere, and is an awkward shape, but after the second use, the base actually broke! These bags are supposed to be durable and rugged. Well, they aren't, I can say that much.Not only did the bag break but the screws and hardware are rusted ( I thought this bag was made for SCUBA diving? shouldn't it weather wet conditions?).I am very disappointed as a loyal customer. I paid over $200 for this bag, which only lasted two dives.
