I love my Akona deluxe mesh backpack, but it ripped to all high heck the other day along the top. I never overload it, and it has maybe 25 dives on it. I recommend these bags to everyone on the dive boat, and I'd like to get mine fixed. I don't have the receipt anymore, and the shop I bought it from is closing. If I take this to another dealer, will they honor sending it in to get fixed? I tried to get it fixed myself, but apparently it is too thick to sew at any of my local tailoring spots. What do you guys recommend? If I'm hosed, just tell me....I can take it

Reason: spelling
Here would be my reccomendation. Find a luggage repair shop. They ussually have the heavy duty sewing machines that can repair the bag. The other choice is to take to another local AKONA Dealer in your area.
