Cheapest largest lightest open cavity roll around suitcase that stayed upright when loaded, $35. Quality and widgets are wt I want to do with out. Tuck what clothing etc can around the bulky gear, loads of room. Not exactly wrinkle proof however. USPS Flat Rate every thing heavish I can cram in one to myself. Reg mask and computer and whatever else in a back pack. I love the wheely things but they are heavy compared to a rather large $12 school kid backpack from Wal-Mart. Dive gear is heavy – something had to give or pay for the excess.
I invest in gear in there, not the weight of quality bags for already heavy gear. Bummer too because I have a lot of great high quality traveling luggage that would work exceptionally well - except got the scale out and found wouldn't cost much to reduce a lot of #'s.
 
My wife and I bought and used the MEI voyageur back packs last month. They carried all our gear including my 3mm and her 5mm full suites and our long Apollo bio fins. They measure the FAA limit 22 × 14 × 9 inches and are light weight. I recommend the backpacks instead of roller because they are lighter and have more room,(without the wheel weight/mechanisms). Plus they keep my hands free for our other luggage. Last years vacation required setting up a train with all our wheeled luggage. This year we used the backpacks and moved through the airport and the plane easier.

Google MEI voyageur for many write ups and recommendations.
