I therefore have 2 questions:

1. is my gear guler imitation suitable for hard boat diving or should I look at a bag?
2. If I should look at a bag - any reccomendations and what features to consider. We are currently considering 2 weeks in lanzarote in June so what ever I get should be suitable and tough enough to take the abuse of baggage handlers at heathrow!


I'd agree with bouyant babe. I use a Dirty Divers bag for UK trips and a wheeled heavy duty bag from my local shopping outlet for airport trips. They are strong, lighter than the diving bags and blend in with all the rest.

You will need a smaller mesh type bag for the boat, this takes all the wet kit and leaves your big bag, at the hotel dry and clean.

I've taken my Gear Gulper on boats and had no problems. However we didn't have full boats and knew I had plenty of room. By choice I'd get ready first, leave the box in the car and carry on the kit in the mesh bag.

I picked up a couple of the barrells from local suppliers. The smaller one I get from the local indian - chutney come sin it. I have a couple of the 60l ones that came from a food place that used food die - all FOC.
