    Subsalve quad bag

    I'm in the market for a 50 lb lift bag to carry on each and every dive, and the SUBSALVE QB50 has caught my eye. Any opinions on this bag? Alternatives? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

    Opinions?

    My opinion is that it's too bulky for a 50# bag. I have one, and I carry it on special occasions - it is quite tough and durable - and the dry-bag part of the "quad" is great. But for everyday use I carry one of those coated nylon yellow ones that folds neatly into about 1/4 the space of the Subsalve.

    Thumbs up Try

    I prefer an orange or yellow bag the white subsalve looks like a white cap in the open ocean. Try the OMS 5' foot orange bag folds up small and gives height to be seen from the boat.
