Gear bag

Long enough for the fins, tough enough for the rock, and it drains. The bag decides whether your gear lasts.

01 What it is for

A spearo carries fins of 90 cm, a gun of a metre or more, a wet suit, lead, a float and a hundred small things, over rock and sand, in and out of a car, wet, most weekends. A bag that fits all of that, drains the water out and keeps the sand from grinding the suit is what turns gear from a pile into a kit.

It also keeps the gun out of sight between the car and the water, which is a courtesy to everyone else on the beach.

02 What to look for

What matters:

  • Length: the fins have to lie flat. 95 cm or more inside.
  • Drainage: mesh panels or drain holes at the bottom. A bag that holds water grows mould and rots the suit.
  • Fabric: heavy nylon or PVC that survives rock and a wet boot floor.
  • A separate compartment for the gun, or a gun bag alongside: the tip and the trigger should not travel with the mask.
  • A dry pocket for keys, a phone and the watch.
  • Straps you can carry it by over rock with both hands free: a backpack style is best for a long walk in.
  • Zips that work with salt in them: big, coated, and few.

A mesh duffel is the cheapest good answer. A rigid or wheeled bag suits a diver who travels by car and never walks far.

03 Fit and sizing

Big enough for fins, suit, float and lead; measure the fins first.

04 Care

Empty it, rinse it, dry it open. Salt and sand in the zips are the reason zips fail; rinse them.

Common mistakes

  • 01 A bag too short for the fins. The blades ride on the outside and break.
  • 02 No drainage. The suit sits in salt water on the drive home and rots.
  • 03 Everything in one compartment. The shaft tip finds the mask skirt.
