What Is a Mesh Dive Bag?
A mesh dive bag is a useful piece of gear for divers and snorkelers of all experience levels. These bags ensure that you can easily transport all your equipment to and from the dive site. Offered in a variety of sizes and types, the mesh bags we sell allow you to organize all your gear, ensuring that you have everything you need on hand for your dive. These dive bags can also be used to store your scuba gear when not in use.
What’s great about mesh bags is that they are really lightweight and can be easily folded. You can put your mash bag inside your travel bag without sacrificing much space.
DIPNDIVE carries several different styles of Mesh Gear Bags. You can choose from mesh duffle bags, mesh backpacks, or smaller drawstring mesh bags. Select the style that best meets your needs.
What Can I Pack in a Mesh Dive Bag?
Depending on the type of mesh bag you choose, it can hold a wide variety of items. For example, a large mesh duffle bag can easily fit everything that you need for an enjoyable, safe dive, including your wetsuit, mask, snorkel, boots, hood, lights, gloves, reel, fins, and surface marker buoy. A smaller drawstring mesh bag can be used to carry just your snorkeling set - mask, snorkel, and fins. If you are planning a relaxing day on the beach, a convenient mesh backpack with additional zippered pockets will be ideal to store your towel, swimsuit, sunscreen, and other small accessories.
What Size Should My Mesh Dive Bag Be?
There's no one size that suits every diver. The most important thing about choosing the right dive bag is to find the one that can safely transport your gear from Point A to Point B. You don’t want to choose a bag that’s too small for your gear, but you also want one that can securely hold your gear without the items rattling around too much.
So, when choosing a mesh gear bag, think of the specific purpose you’re going to use it for and select the size accordingly. If you need to carry a scuba gear set, it’s best to look at bags at least 2500 cubic inches (40 liters) large and preferably with multiple compartments or pockets. If you only need to accommodate your snorkeling equipment, smaller bags will do just fine. There are also bags for some specific items, such as fin bags, snorkel bags, lobster and game bags, etc.
What Are the Advantages of Using a Mesh Dive Bag?
Mesh dive bags are lightweight, breathable, and allow water and sand to drain out easily, making them ideal for wet gear. They also help keep your equipment dry and reduce odors by promoting air circulation, which is essential after a dive.
Are Mesh Dive Bags Durable Enough for Frequent Use?
Most mesh dive bags are made from reinforced materials like nylon or polyester mesh that withstand wear from wet and rough equipment. Additionally, look for bags with strong stitching and reinforced handles if you plan to carry heavy gear regularly.
How Should I Clean and Maintain My Mesh Dive Bag?
Rinse your mesh dive bag with fresh water after each use, especially after saltwater dives, to remove salt and debris. Let it air dry completely before storing to prevent mold and mildew. Avoid machine washing to protect the mesh structure.
Can I Use a Mesh Dive Bag for Other Outdoor Activities?
Yes, mesh dive bags are versatile and can be used for beach trips, boating, or even sports equipment. Their breathable and quick-drying design makes them suitable for any activity involving wet or sandy gear.
