Gear Bags
A hard bag protects your gear while in transport.
A gear bag is necessary for transporting your gear to and from a dive boat or site. Bags are available in both hard and soft styles, and each has its own benefits.
A hard bag is best to use when checking your gear in an airport because the rigid design protects your gear from rough handling. But if you plan on doing a lot of boat diving, a soft bag is preferred because it can be folded and stored out of the way of other divers.
Gear bags sold for diving equipment are manufactured to transport wet equipment. They are made of nylon or other water safe materials, and most have riveted holes to allow drainage. A desirable feature is a separate dry compartment for protecting personal items such as your towel, dry clothes, camera, and wallet.
