The 58-liter AKONA Globetrotter carry-on dive bag is a versatile, unique bag that’s scored high on many divers’ wish lists for years. It’s specifically designed for the AKONA Pro Reg Bag to sit at the bottom, and two compression straps on the sides keep your fins tightly in place.

Inside the cylindrical bag you’ll find room to stash the rest of your gear, and—best of all—the Globetrotter fits most airline dimensions as a carry-on, so there’s no need to check a big bag filled with your expensive gear.

Other standout features include side grab handles to make carrying the bag easy, two external pockets that can be zipped shut to stash extra gear, and padded, adjustable shoulder straps to keep it comfortable. The chest strap works great for proportionately distributing the weight.

It could be its cylindrical shape that makes it easy to load your diving gear or the top and side grab handles that help you effortlessly lift it – the fact remains that there is hardly anything on the market resembling it.

Collapse your bag when you arrive at your destination and pop it out before you head home—with nothing else on the market like this, the AKONA Globetrotter is a must-have if you like to travel light.
