Used this bag for my recent dive trip to Tioman. It easily fit my wetsuit, fins, and a couple of regulators, and the zippers felt strong. I do wish the shoulder straps had just a bit more padding for longer walks from the ferry.

Is the Mares Cruise Captain Bag 48L suitable as carry-on luggage for flights to Maldives? I’m worried about the size fitting in overhead compartments.

Love the ventilation on this bag! My gear dries out so much faster now and no more musty smell. The mesh section really makes a difference after a long day of diving at Pulau Hantu.
