Aqua Lung Ocean Pack

One look at this nifty diver's backpack will tell you that it's a grand elevation of the old, mesh diving sack. First, it's built like a tank, with heavy-duty, rubber-coated mesh sides and 1680-denier ballistic nylon. Second, it's got an accessory pocket that both secures and organizes all the stuff you don't know where to put when you're on the dive boat (wallet, keys, sunscreen). Third, the padded shoulder straps come in tandem with a neoprene back pad and spine pad so that you can hoof your gear to the beach or dock, even if takes longer than five minutes. To top it all off, a drawstring and full-length zipper give total access to gear once it's stowed and make packing it a whole lot easier in the first place.

Measures: 28x15.5x13.5 inches.
MSRP: $70.00
