Description

The Bonaire Mesh Backpack is a larger version of the Panama Backpack, offering 15% more room—so you can pack it all. In fact, the full-length side-zip accessed main compartment is spacious enough for a complete cold-water dive kit. In addition to the front pocket which packs smaller items, the Bonaire also features a patented dry compartment built in for a towel, phone or whatever dry-stow items you have on-hand. Plus, a sturdy and durable PVC bottom endures the abuse of getting tossed around dive boats, truck beds, or wherever your mission might take you. Big, breathable and rugged, the Bonaire is the perfect companion for all of your outdoor amphibious adventures.

  • Great option for local diving and dive travel
Color: Aqua
On a recent dive trip to Key Largo everyone on the boat add this bag. I was so impressed that I ended up getting one as soon as I got home. Good bag… Well made with lots of pockets. The dry pocket is roomy and so far has worked well to keep all my important things protected. Not sure if the other deep pocket was intended for Finz but it fits my atomic split fins just perfectly. Hi dive in New Hampshire so we were heavy wet suits all your long. This mesh bag provides plenty of room for oh my what gear plus my BCD. I’ve only had it for a few weeks but so far it’s held up great. Assuming they didn’t fall apart on me after one season I would definitely purchase this dive bag again in the future. I have been so impressed so far that I have convinced my local Dive Shop to carry them. It packs well into my travel bag. Definitely useful when embarking on dove boats ... show more

  • the toughest mesh bag I've ever used
Color: Yellow
Pros tough materials durable construction appear and feel similar to the original of 15 years ago mesh design good for airing and draining wet gear side zipper opens the bag widely eases filling compared to just top loading coated PVC bottom is extra tough for rough surfaces; I would use this bag to sit on bare sharp rocks and limestone large sack shape conforms to any shape such as cameras and strobes doesn't stink, because it airs itself easy to clean, worse case, you can turn the bag inside out and wash it Cons The 'shapeless' bag can make gear poke you if not arranged properly. We put fins on the dry bag end, towards the shoulder straps. This provides a firm protective flat surface for your back, and you can backpack this bag for miles easily. The bag stretches when wet, and can be large for some people; it will hit my thighs when carried as a backpack and loaded. To shorten the straps loop straps through the carry handle, and this pulls the bag up, then I put my towel and dry bag, underneath the straps when I wear it, and provides more stretch and padding for long marches. When heavily loaded, the weight of the bag pulls the front pocket velcro tab open, but the pressure of all the gear in the sack hold most anything in the front pocket from falling out When heavily loaded, the drawstring lock can pull open: I loop the drawstring around the top carry handle, pull tight and tie a shoelace knot, and this locks the drawstring lock Notes on Durability While I've had this bag for just a month, its workmanship and materials are very similar to the original. We'll see how it survives over the coming year. I've used the smaller original size of this bag Stahlsac Panama Mesh Backpack for 15 straight years and 2000+ dives. During early 2000, I tried similar mesh bags and destroyed them all in weeks, until I got my Stahlsac. The acid test of mesh bags was the water dunk tank soak, very common after ocean dives. You take a bag full of gear and submerge it in a fresh water tub, and after soaking for a while, pull it out. Nylon weakens a touch when wet and will stretch, so it has to be built extra tough. When you pull the bag out of the tub, it carries the weight of your gear and the water its sponged up, and this often tears lesser webbing, handles, or rips the bottom of the bag. Many times we'd soak the bag overnight. All bags I've and my buddies have destroyed died often during the dunk tank test. In 15 years of not just 1000+ dunks, but loaded with 50-70# of gear including lead weights, then carried dripping wet for miles+ after shore dives the bag never tore. About its 10th year, the stitches on the front pocket gave way, so I stitched it back. The 'dry bag' eventually wore out, it leaked but I could keep stuff in the "dry" compartment by wrapping it a ziplock bag. The mesh would snag on carts, boats, and vehicles, tearing holes in the mesh in places but never critical to cause gear to fall out or loose the bag's integrity as a bag. Easy to repair with nylon line like you would a fishing net. Finally in the past 2 years, the mesh tore too easily in many places and the frequency of my repairs increased to most every trip. So my original bag is now being retired. As expected, fellow divers and my dive buddy of 15+ years also uses an identical model Stahlsac bag, and his bag too started to fall apart at the same time. He has as many dives as I have, and treats the bag similarly. It says the toughness of this bag is not just an accident, and its expected lifespan is similar. ... show more

  • Great gear bag
Color: Yellow
Only taken on 2 dive trips so far, but I like what I see. Two aspects of this bag stand out: convenience and durability. The front pocket (which is not waterproof) is very handy for smaller items like your dive computer, gloves, and compass. The included mesh bag is great for your miscellaneous gear (dive light, slate, knife, safety sausage). I have not used the rear dry bag, but it's huge. This bag was an upgrade over a basic mesh duffel, and what a difference it has made! Now, durability. Dive buddies commented on how it's made out of really thick mesh. Seems built to last. (Will find out!) ... show more

  • Very high quality. Fits everything
Color: Black
This is perfect for Cali boat diving. It fits all the gran and then some. Shoulder straps are comfortable. The built in dry bag is a must! I am very happy I spent a few extra dollars the convenience and durability is way worth it versus some of the 30-40 dollar options. In this case you are getting more than you pay for. ... show more

  • Perfect sturdy mesh bag for damp gear

Exactly what I was looking for for lugging a lot of wet / damp sports gear. Great materials and construction, breathable mesh. Bought three total.

  • Holds a complete setup including my long fins
Color: Yellow
This is my new day bag as it holds my whole kit along with my very long fins. It is very comfortable to wear when making the trek down to the boat.

  • Excellent choice for a cold-water free diver.
Color: Black
This is a great bag for carrying all my 'balone gear a mile or so to the water's edge. It's: Very sturdy; large enough to hold fins, mask, wetsuit, gloves, hood, snorkel, etc; well drained; and, as a bonus, has several very useful pockets. The only thing I can think of improving would be the drawstring at the top. It doesn't close as easily or as tightly as I'd like, but it's hardly worth mentioning. I wear my weight belt on my waist, clip my tube to the back of the bag with a 'biner, and it's all good. ... show more
