The biggest bag I can find now is Mares 37.5 X 15 from the cruise collection ..this is sorta big enough but the material is this same weak floppy stuff ...... Please .. Looking for recommendations anyone seen any bags like this .... Thinking of having one made ..I think this is the type materiel I'd use ... Thanks for any help you can give me

Thanks ...That will be Perfect for what I need .. Looooong time ago ..when I worked at Frank's Dive Shop ..Riveria Beach a customer made some this size or maybe even a little bigger and the Mesh was twice the size and highly rubberized ... I abused that bag for years ... I bet they'd sell if someone made them ... Thanks for your help

Mid 80's ... Capt Bob Johnson was the main Capt of the Shark Killer ... Worked with Ray Davis , Roy Bennetts , Frankie Stora was the Manager ... Filled a Billion Tanks in that tank fill station ..It was the best one I've ever seen ..3 way valves on the fill whips ... refrigerated water in the tank ..we would sometimes cool our beer in there .. Frank sold to some guys from Colorado last i knew ..Then I moved on to Divers Unlimited and then the Keys ...
Fat ass Capt Don ..on the Diversion ...Divers Unlimited's 40 ft delta ...on the mercedes wreck ..this pic was in skin diver mag when they did an article on Divers Unlimited ..The owner Dave was pissed I got the coverage as I had already given my 2 weeks notice ...

Holy Crap that's a long time ago and I remember that shop.
Singer Island didn't have any of those tall condos and hotels and Sail Fish marina was tiny.

I have been using the #145 and it pretty well fits everything I need for deeper cold water shipwreck diving. Maybe the #146 would work best for your use case?

The only dig I have on it is that there is no shoulder strap supplied with it. However, there are attachment points.

Do you know what ever happened to the Air Storage Tanks Frank had out Back ? They were Huge Submarine Surplus Tanks ... Frank would freak if he caught us pumping them over 3000 .. I half expected to hear about the whole neighborhood going up when 1 of those corroded thru ...Ha
