Brand: Carter

Located in: Add-On Gear, Lift Bags

Open Bottom Lift Bags are very versatile light-to-medium-duty lift bags. They are excellent for sport divers, and are suitable for most types of underwater lifting and light salvage. All but the 25 lb, 50 lb and 75 lb bags have diver-actuated dump valves, and all are open at the bottom to vent expanding air as they ascend. They are economical, lightweight, and fold into a neat, compact roll for easy handling underwater. The 25 lb and 75 lb bags are made from a strong but lighter weight urethane coated nylon material that can be rolled up very small.

Comments about Carter Carter Lift Bags:

Carter Lift Bag is a great product. I have used other lift bags, but the Carter seems to be the most durable and the easiest to use. They are a good value for the money.

Comments about Carter Carter Lift Bags:

I use these open-bottom lift bags for deploying and recovering gear, and I've used them on more than 150 scientific dives. While the larger volume ones (>250-lbs) are made of super-durable material plastic-coated material, the smaller ones (50-, 100-, and 200-lb) are now made out of cheaper nylon, and I've had two of them tear at the bottom seams. The dump valve pull strings sometimes can float up in the bag, too- we tend to add a light weight (a large washer) on the dump valve pull rings to stop this from happening. Overall, the larger ones made out of the more durable, heavy-duty material are solid, bomb-proof professional products. The new, smaller ones are good, just not of the same quality.

I miss the old school one but good bag..

Comments about Carter Carter Lift Bags:

The 50lb. Lift bags works very well except the lack of a purge valve can make it dangerous if you are using the bag to lift an object that is in sticky clay. Other than that I am very impressed with the quality of the product.
