Ashraf Bin Ibrahim –
Used the Mares Cruise Journey Backpack for my recent dive trip in Tioman. It could fit all my gear including my long fins, and the ventilated fin pocket was really helpful for drying them out. Would like a bit more padding on the waist strap though.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your feedback, Ashraf! We’re glad the backpack accommodated your gear and provided good ventilation. We appreciate your comments about the waist strap padding and will share this with our product team for future improvements.
Lee Siew Mei –
Is the backpack waterproof enough to keep my electronics dry if it rains while on the boat? Planning to bring a dive computer and phone inside.
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Siew Mei, the Mares Cruise Journey Backpack is made with water-resistant fabric and heavy-duty zippers to protect your belongings from splashes and rain. However, for maximum protection, we recommend using additional dry bags for sensitive electronics as the backpack is not fully waterproof.
Priya Nair –
Bag is really travel-friendly—I brought it as my carry-on from Singapore to Bali and it fit without issues. Comfortable straps even when fully packed. Reflective accents were useful at the pier early morning.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your great review, Priya! We’re happy to hear that the backpack made travel easy and was comfortable for your trip, and that the reflective accents came in handy. Have a fantastic time on your dives!
