Best Dive Bag Trolleys 2021

To securely transport your Equipment it is great to have a proper Dive Bag Trolley. Roll it carry it or use it like a backpack.

Dive Bag Trolleys are not the cheapest Luggage carrier but definitely the most diverse and not only for Dive Equipment but also for any other luggage.

I would always prefer it in comparison to a normal travel suitcase. Because they are so variable and diverse. Roll it, carry it or use it like a backpack.

However there are lot of Details in Dive Bag Trolleys to look out for before buying!

Wheels

A Dive Bag trolley should have wheels to make carrying on even floors easier by just pulling it behind you. Especially as a whole set of Dive Equipment is heavy weighing in at around 15-20 Kg.

The best trolley wheels are the same as you’d find on Rollerblades. They are soft, roll with very little resistance, are rigid and inexpensive if you need to replace them.

Compartments

A Dive Bag Trolley has preferably lots of compartments which are separate bags so you can divide your Dive Equipment into different parts like dry and wet or big and small.

There are long compartments for Fins on either side of the bag. Another Compartment mostly on the topside features a Regulator bag which might also be detachable.

Zippers

Zippers are always a week point and need to be large toothed rigid and either from aluminum or plastic otherwise they’ll rust and break very quickly.

A good tip is to wax zippers after you come back from your Dive trip and store the Bag over longer periods. The easiest way is with an old candle. Just rub it along the out and inside of the Zipper, close and open the bag for 2-3 times so the wax gets spread evenly. There are commercial products on the market if you’d rather prefer that.

Rigidity

The rigidity of a diving bag depends, among other things, on the material used. The rail on the backside where the handle is retracted gives the bag the greatest rigidity. This is reinforced at the lower end by hard plastic corners which also serve as abrasion protection. There are also compensation plugs so that the bag does not tip over when you set it upright.

Handles

There are mostly more than 1 handle on the Dive Bag Trolleys. One handle is attached to the top upright of the bag which is a short and rigid handle mostly with a rubberized grip.

Telescopic handle

Then there is another one on the long side of the bag so you can carry it sideways like a duffel bag. This handle usually has a Velcro fastener to keep the 2 separate tote handles together even if you don’t carry it.

And then there is the handle to roll the bag which is on a rail on the backside where the handle also can be retracted or extended depending to your needs. Sometimes called Telescoping handle.

Backpack Straps

They are mostly invisible and hidden away in a slim bag on the backside of your Dive Bag Trolley. They would otherwise entangle into the wheels when pulling the bag.

If you loaded up your Dive Bag Trolley to a max and it is heavy this is the easiest way to carry it. However make sure the Backpack straps are properly built and attached to the bag.

Floor abrasion protection

The lower corners where the bag mostly stands on are lined with hard plastic serving as abrasion protection which also gives the bag a better rigidity. There are also compensation plugs made of hard plastic so that the bag does not tip over when you set it down upright.

Material

Dive Bag Trolleys exterior is mostly made from a combination of 420D Nylon NT and 450D Rip-stop for strength and durability. The interior lining is often made from polyester. Sometimes they come with PVC coating.

Size

The Volume and size depending on the brand and reaches from as small as 50l all the way up to 200l
