I recently traveled from St Louis to Rome where I picked up a Windstar Cruise ship. I managed to pack large fins, full 7 ml extra tall suit with boots, gloves and hood, full Aqualung BC, a Surffur waterproof Parka, large towel, dry and boat bag into this Cargo Bag with some room to spare. It was near 50lbs packed but I didn't get charged for wt though they got me for a second bag. The bag traveled well full and had sufficient grips when loading and unloading. The bag seems well built and ma...de it through 6 plane transfers unscathed and intact. On the way home, I had it packed to the gills and it still performed well. There are plenty of compartments for assorted dive gear. I would highly recommend this bag and am very happy with my purchase.
We ordered a dive bag for a last minute Christmas trip to Grand Cayman, and Scubas shipping department mistakenly sent it ground snail mail. We were notified of the delivery, which would have been 2 days after our departure. Calling Scubas customer support (all divers themselves) they acknowledge their mistake, and followed up with an email explaining the issue and corrective action. Within hours of my call they had an upgraded (top of the line) bag being shipped overnight. WOW thats customer... service! ****What a great well constructed bag, it held both our BCD, fins and mask with room to spare and weighed in at 46 lbs at the airport. and customer service is the best, well be back****

Can you lock the various zipper compartments with TSA approved locks?
Edward H
The two fin pockets, the main compartment and the large accessory pocket can all be locked with TSA approved locks as they have dual zipper pulls to accommodate them. The small accessory pocket on the front has only one zipper pull, so it cannot be secured.
Gregory W
Thank you! That was very helpful info!!
Edward H
My pleasure! And Stahlsac is outstanding in its customer support. They replaced my wife's Caicos for free when the luggage gorillas destroyed the telescopic handle.
leon z
YES YOU CAN
ERIN R
Absolutely!
DAVID U
you cannot lock the 2 side compartments used for fins . You can put locks on the main and front pouch compartments.
LLOYD W
Yes
Eva S
I bought mine quite a few years ago. It can be locked by hooking a small lock through the zipper pulls. I don’t know if they’ve changed the design since or not.
FERNETTA S
Hi. Yes you can lock the main compartment But the smaller ones you cannot lock ! F.
Gregory W
Thank you for your reply! Just for clarification...Are you counting the "fin" compartments as part of the main compartment or part of the small compartments?
Jon T
What are the maximum dimensions of the fins that will fit in the Stahlsac Caicos?
ANTHONY V
I have Scuba Pro Twin Jets. Fit no problem. Not sure of the dimension
AMY B
What are the external dimensions of the bag?
JAMES G
It's a soft-sided bag. The external dimensions will depend on how much you put in it. It's not a carry-on bag. It's adequate for most diving. For me it's more of a weight issue than a size issue. I use it a lot
AMY B
I ended up decided that the Clipper would be a better size for me. Thanks for your input!
