Meng Lee –
I used the Akona Weight Bag for a weekend dive trip in Pulau Tioman, and it held all my weights securely. The padded handles made carrying much easier even when the bag was fully loaded, but I wish the mesh panel was a bit larger for faster drying.

How do I clean the Akona Weight Bag after diving in saltwater? Is it okay to machine wash or should I rinse by hand?

Hi Siti Rahman, we recommend rinsing the Akona Weight Bag thoroughly with fresh water and allowing it to air dry. Machine washing is not advised as it may damage the heavy-duty construction and zippers.

Been using this bag for my dive classes at Sentosa for over a year—still looks almost new! The zippers are strong and the bag fits my weights, gloves, and mask without issues.
