Akona rebuilt their travel line this year, and the details are the kind you only appreciate on the third trip.
Globetrotter DX Backpack — $100. Carry-on sized and still swallows a reg, octo, computer, BC, mask and snorkel. The bottom compartment is shaped to take an Akona regulator bag, fins strap to the outside, and the padded harness moves the weight onto your back — which your shoulders will notice somewhere around the third terminal.
Georgian Mesh Roller Backpack — $175. 100 liters. Wheels and a telescoping tow handle for the airport, stowable backpack straps for the dock and the ladder. Reinforced mesh panels so everything drains and airs out on the ride home instead of stewing. Saltwater-resistant zippers.
Luxor Cordura Dry Bag — $25–$30. Weighs almost nothing, packs into its own pouch, welded seams instead of stitching. The one you'll actually bring.
Gobi Mini Dry Phone Bag — $12. Floats, and the window still reads your thumbprint so you can shoot without opening it.
