Item Description

"Ballistic Mesh" Dive Bag

The MAKO Spearguns “Ballistic Mesh” Dive Bag is made exclusively for freedivers. Measuring 42 inches long, it is capable of holding the longest of freedive fins. It is made of a Ballistic Mesh material which is light weight, yet extremely durable. The see through mesh makes accessing your gear fast and easy, even in low light conditions, and it also allows your wet gear to dry out quickly. Also included in this durably constructed bag, is a velcro side pocket for smaller items and the shoulder/hand straps, make for easy carrying.

Warning: We do not recommend using this bag by itself when traveling on airlines. Divers often report stolen gear from their bags when traveling on airlines or in remote destinations.

Helpful Hint: If traveling on an airline, or in remote areas, we recommend using both MAKO gear bags (Freedive Gear Bag and the Ballistic Mesh Dive Bag). As shown in the photo to the right, the gear is stored in the Ballistic Mesh Dive Bag which is placed zipper size down inside the Freedive Bag. Notice the wetsuit and float is facing up with the smaller and the “easier to grab” items are hidden from view. Also note that to access the gear, the inside Ballistic Mesh Gear Bag must be pulled out in order to access the zipper, thus further reducing the possibility of theft. Sure, the mesh could be cut with a knife, but that would bring attention to the theft and it is much less likely.

Another advantage of the two bag system is that the Freediver Gear Bag can used to store personal items as well and be left in the hotel room, while the lighter, mesh bag can be used specifically for the boat or beach dives.

Specifications:

  • 42” long x 16” wide
  • Hand straps double as shoulder straps
  • Rust resistant zippers
  • Durable ballistic mesh material
  • Two zippered end pockets for small items

    The bag is ins...

    Posted by Eric on Oct 16th 2018

    The bag is insanely HUGE! You can easily fit two sets of long fins, wetsuits, masks, and drybags inside and still have room for more stuff you can think of. The mesh and zipper feel very rugged and tough. It's simply the best deal for a good dive bag you will find and will last for many years of dive trips. The only criticism I can give is that the carry straps are too long in my opinion. If you're a little shorter in stature you will have to carry the bag with a 90 degree bend in your arm to avoid it from dragging on the ground. This can be easily fatiguing when you have 25 pounds of gear inside and have to go on a small hike down the ridge to get to shore.

    Best Dive Bag .

    Posted by Greg on Oct 16th 2018

    This is hands down the best dive bag I’ve every owned. And the price tag makes it that much better! After reading all the reviews about it, I decided I’d give it a chance. And it was the best dicision yet. It literally holds EVERYTHING, except your gun of course. I bring a bunch of gear because I shore dive and there’s still plenty of space for more. The mesh is very sturdy and seems like it will take a beating for many seasons to come. Do yourself a favor and just buy one already

    As advertised, good, study mesh bag.

    ... that fits nicely inside the duffel bag for a trip snd can become the boat bag (likely shared by2 in our case) during the trip.

    Perfect wet bag

    Posted by Jason Tarasi on May 16th 2018

    Perfect wet bag that can fit all of your gear including your float and line. Thing is huge! Picked up the bag for a recent trip. Bag was easy to travel with because it compressed down into my travel bag. Once at my location all my gear fit easily in the Ballistic Bag. I threw it in the panga and off we went. On the way back in after diving all day, all the gear went back in the bag and my stuff was in one place, while the rest of the crew had their crap scattered. Got back to the beach carried my bag, rinsed it off and was drinking a beer in no time. The next day, grabbed my bag, back in the panga and was ready to roll. If you need a wet bag, this is a must have!

    Dive bag ( ballistic mesh )

    Posted by TW on Apr 27th 2018

    What a great dive bag this is . I've owned probably 2 dive bags in the 28 years that I have been diving and those held up pretty well. This bag looks and feels like it's indestructible. Thanks for your ongoing dedication in bringing quality products to the diver.

    Best bag

    Posted by Paler on Mar 12th 2018

    I put all my stuff in there and it doesnt get as stinky as in other closed bags. The loose items go in another smaller mesh bag inside this one to keep things tidy.

    Huge!

    Posted by Sergio DaSilva on Jan 31st 2018

    This dive bag is massive. It holds ALL of my gear with ease, including a backup set of fins. The fabric seems heavy duty so will hopefully last quite a while.

    Can't imagine diving without it

    Posted by Donnie Griggs on Nov 7th 2017

    I mostly dive off boats, carrying stuff back and forth and keeping it together on the boat so it doesn't get mixed up with other divers can be a pain. Thats why this bag has become such an essential part of my gear. It's huge, carries multiple float lines, a float, two sets of freediving fins, masks, snorkels, wetsuit, etc... with room to spare. Because of the mesh, you can see you stuff and it dries out quickly. And it's under $30. No brainer.

    HUGE BAG

    Posted by MWW III on Jan 19th 2017

    This a great bag. It is big and strong enough to carry ALL of you gear. Writing this makes me think of the years I should have been using one. Better late than never.

    Light and spacious

    Posted by Andy Dye on Sep 13th 2016

    I've used the bag on 1 weekend trip so far. It appears sturdy. It's fairly light weight and has LOTS of room. Designed in length, I believe, for free diving fins. Along with my basic gear (BC, reg, wetsuit, mask, fins, etc), I was able to put zoo keeper, short pole-spear, lobster hotel (with no-escape PVC entry), with room for a bit more. Once on boat and emptied, it rolls up nicely for storing compactly.
