Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Ultra Pro Backpack with Wheels.:
This backpack is very durable. I am able to fit all of my dive gear in this one backpack, including my dive log. The fin pockets are very large, and I have no trouble fitting my Twin Jet fins in them.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Ultra Pro Backpack with Wheels.:
Used the backpack to carry all my diving gear. Held 2 set of fins, 2 wetsuits, BCD, gloves, hood, mask, 2 snorkels and my regulator. The problem is that the bag can hold too much and cause the bag to be a bit heavy. Has large wheels that roll easily. Does not have a cover over the metal frame inside the bag. Overall, nice bag that can carry all your gear.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Ultra Pro Backpack with Wheels.:
Taken this back to Fiji, and a couple of cruises, and about 8 flights. Overall the bag is strong, but there is a mesh fabic over the fin pockets that rips out of the seams. Happened on both sides and the bag is not that old. The rest of the bag is quite durable and it is large, I can fit two of each, BCs, fins, masks, snorkels, and regulators, so if you are traveling with a partner, it is nice that it can hold both of your equipment. Forgetabout the backpack part, they could save the weight by taking off the straps. I would never put this thing on my back even if it was empty.

I put it on the scale last night. This thing weighs about 14 lbs! The airlines only let you bring on 50 lbs before they start charging extra.

is to heavy for air travel could not get all my gear in and be under 50#
Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Ultra Pro Backpack with Wheels.:
The fin pockets, like most other dive gear storage equipment, will be too narrow if you decide to go with wide fins (e.g. split fins).
With extra storage and heavy canvas comes the extra weight. It tough enough to take a beating through the airports. However, I do like the room it provides. I am able to put two sets of warm water wetsuits (3 mm) in this bag along with fins in the side pocket, mask, snorkle, spare air bottle, collapsable knapsack and Scubapro BC.
Note: most dive operators will not allow this bag on their boats. I therefore bought a very sturdy collapsable knapsack to take with me (Akona Adventure Gear - an excellent knapsack).
A word of caution, with extra room comes the tendency to put more "stuff" into this bag. You may end up exceeding the weight limit of 50 Lbs for luggage at the airport. However, light bulky stuff other than your dive gear can be put in the dive bag if you only place one wetsuit in it.
There are two outside storage compartments on the front. I do not use the regulator baggage compartment (or the regulator storage bag) since I carry my dive computer/regulator with me on the plane. I have had stuff stolen from me at the airports. Therefore, I usually place personal bulky items in this compartment (e.g. windbreaker, sweater ectc.).
The wheels are small and tucked up nicely but a little unstable when making tight turns. The recessed handle is very sturdy and provides enough height to where I can actually place another piece of luggage on top and wheel both through the airport easily.
Zippers are solid and have held up very well over the past 2 years.
