Comments about Akona Akona Boat Mesh Roller Duffel Bag (AKB554):

Used as travel and/or gear bag. Holds a lot of gear, easily enough for two divers who aren't gear nuts. However, quality of the bag is lacking. The outer cordura fabric has torn, the inner plastic tray broke on the second usage, and some of the rivets holding the wheels in place popped. Good concept but poor execution.

Bag does everything its says it will do. Rolls great and holds lots of gear. It works great w/ dive boats loading and unloading gear. It drains completely dry. The handle could be alittle longer, but it's not bad.

Very durable, It has handles front and rear for transferring. great open mesh top big drain holes on bottom fits everything I need and then some. It could use some pockets for stuff I keep in the bag but dont use like spare hoses and stuff. fits under the bench on all dive boats I have been on so far.

Comments about Akona Akona Boat Mesh Roller Duffel Bag (AKB554):

I have not used that bag yet however it seems that it will do just what I need it to. There is plenty of room for two sets of gear and a stowaway (your cheap friend). The only dislike I have about the bag is that there is only one small pocket and the top cover is completely removable and attaches with velcro. I would have prefered a larger pocket and the top cover to zip shut and be able to roll back and secure similar to a door on a tent.

Comments about Akona Akona Boat Mesh Roller Duffel Bag (AKB554):

Just took it on a week long dive trip. It packed everything and got there in good shape. It loaded onto the boat, fitting under the seat for diving and carting stuff to and from the boat. When time came to get everything rinsed off for the trip home, it was easy to wash out and dried quickly.

Comments about Akona Akona Boat Mesh Roller Duffel Bag (AKB554):

We took this bag to Mexico and it held fins, booties, wetsuits, masks, knives, and some misc gear for two of us very easily. We also added some gear from others on our trip. It held the gear well, was easy to use and clean. The only thing to be careful of is that the bag can clearly hold more than 50lbs of gear, so watch what you pack and weigh the bag. I'd get another if we needed another dive bag.

Comments about Akona Akona Boat Mesh Roller Duffel Bag (AKB554):

Very roomy, has main compartment and one small inside pocket. Main pocket holds gear for 2 minus tanks:) Inside pocket holds save a dive kit, tools, and a few small things. Will hold your issued PADI logbook but nothing bigger. I took it to Cancun last week and it worked great. The airports were not so nice, I got a few small rips where the corners of the plastic frame touchs the outside material. For the price this should be fixed. In the airport I had this bag, my fullsize pull behind cloths bag and a carry-on. I had no trouble pushing my scuba gear infront and pulling the other two behind at DFW,TUL and Cancun. I also packed it to Cozumel and the caverns south of Playa Del Carmen, with gear for two, I was very glad to have this bag after my wife and I carried bags on our last trip and killed our backs and shoulders. We packed it to 50lbs for the airport and then added about 20 more for the dive. Seemed like 90-100lbs returning with wet-wetsuites and towels.

Comments about Akona Akona Boat Mesh Roller Duffel Bag (AKB554):

We bought it for boat use, but it was big enough and easy to handle so we use it for our luggage. Zipper broke on the first use - but otherwise we really like it (bought a 2nd one too)

Comments about Akona Akona Boat Mesh Roller Duffel Bag (AKB554):

we originally bought this bag and were quite shocked at how big it actually was when we received it. It was huge and heavy. I don't think it would fit very well on a dive boat. We sent it back, opting for a smaller size.

Comments about Akona Akona Boat Mesh Roller Duffel Bag (AKB554):

After using a regular SCUBA gear bag with a shoulder strap for years, it's been so nice to be able to easily pull/push this one through the airport, to the hotel room, to the dive operators, etc. It has plenty of room for all of my gear.
