Mares Cruise Backpack Mesh Deluxe is a great choice when it comes to hauling your snorkeling gear or going on a day boat for a dive. Made to be worn as a backpack, the bag offers an impressive capacity of 123.5 liters, so all your gear should fit comfortably inside.

The PVC-coated mesh material doesn’t allow water to soak through to your clothes when you’re carrying a bag full of wet gear, and the reinforced bottom with a drainage hole helps water drain quickly once your dive day is done.

Finally, the side zipper ensures quick access to your diving equipment at any point throughout your journey, which is particularly helpful when your bag is overloaded.
