Is this bag good for swimming? I want bag that has a mesh bottom too, so that pull buoy, fins, goggles, etc. can dry up quickly.

I think it would work well for swimming as the water would drip out rather than remain contained...It would definitely work better than any other back pack but the water might also leak out on the carrier's back since it is completely mesh.

Yes, this would be a good bag for swimming. It's mesh all the way around and it's a generous size. My son can fit alot in this bag!

The top part has mesh, so it will not stay dry. The bottom cooler part will not be exposed to outside water. I go kayaking with it all the time my solution was to buy waterproof pouches for dry items. For the money and portability it's a great buy.

I'm pretty sure it would. And towels probably too. We haven't actually used it for snorkeling/diving, but as a vacation/swimming bag. We've been able to put 6 towels, 4 changes of clothes, camera gear and had room to put more in there. Bag has waist and chest straps to help shoulder a heavy load. I'm super impressed with this bag it's heavy duty and made for saltwater.

Wash it off and it should hold up fine. Keep in mind that this is a medium size bag. Great for fishing trips when you don't need tons of tackle!

This is my go to dry bag now mainly due to the backpack straps because I always have my hands full. I use mine a couple times a week tossing it around at the marina and dragging it out on the boat kicking it around the deck and have not had a problem. I will say I don't tote around a lot of weight mostly hand held gps, vhf radio, fillet knife, towel, rain gear, few snacks, couple bottles of water, etc....The only down side is rolling (closing) it up when it's not full, if you try to push out all the air and close it tightly when it's only partially loaded you will end up rolling up the straps in the folds. Doesn't matter much to me because I always seem to have a bunch of crap anyways. This is my go to dry bag now mainly due to the backpack straps because I always have my hands full.

No. The bag isn't exactly water proof, but I'm sure there is something you can coat it with to make it so.

Go to the dry bag website for a sizing chart. I normally used a 5 liter or small bag for kayaking. Each company is a little different with the sizes. Also double check what the Amazon seller is saying for the size. This bag is a good one.

The zipper pouch is actually a dry area for your log book, towel, clothes... I usually put my fins down either side of the bag with my gear in the middle of them.

Hi Lora. The bag has about a 12-15 inch diameter at the base but the mesh stretches when filled with gear. It's 30 inches high. It fits my BC, regs, wetsuit, fins and has room for a couple of mask cases and log book. There is no zipper along the side and no waterproof pocket.

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead.

This bag, like many others, is not waterproof. However, I just sprayed a water proof sealant on it and it has kept my stuff dry in a downpour. If you want even more protection you could buy a rain cover for it. See my review for more information.

Unfortunately I did not have a chance to test the bag to be waterproofness. I returned it for a larger back pack. The quality was very high with this bag. And the material seemed like it would be very waterproof. If the size fits your needs I think it is a high quality bag for the price.

I use my bag for saltwater and it holds up well. The zippers are coated pretty well and I don't think they will rest. The only thing is the pull strings come off and you have to tie them back on.

The dolphin is great because you have options. It come with mesh baskets that are so much easier to clean than a bag. You can also use a bag instead too. I can't remember if it comes with bag

No. I store sailing gear. Pretty solid bag. For the price this is a great bag.

The bottom of the bag is because it is made out of solid rubber, but the bag itself is not. It will repel some light precipitation for a while (light rain, fog, drizzle,etc), but a soaking rain shower would probably get into it. So if you are looking for a fully waterproof bag, this isn't it. But it gives you some protection.

The square part isn't removable and I don't think it's waterproof. This bag is awesome though...and big! My fins hardly fit in my 29 inch luggage but fit fie I the bag. I'd buy it again if I needed one.
