Stahlsac Curacao Clipper Dive Bag
The Stahlsac Curacao Clipper is a wheeled dive travel bag designed for transporting scuba and watersport equipment along with clothing and personal items. It has a total volume of approximately 5,864 cubic inches (96 liters) and measures about 32 × 16 × 11 inches (59 linear inches), making it compatible with standard checked baggage size limits for most commercial airlines. The empty weight is 8.8 pounds (4 kilograms), which helps reduce the likelihood of exceeding common airline baggage weight limits when fully packed.
The outer shell is constructed from nylon Cordura, a material known for high abrasion resistance and durability under repeated exposure to saltwater, sunlight, and rough handling. The bag is built on a lightweight, fully serviceable frame that supports smooth-rolling wheels. The wheels are designed for multi-surface use, from airport flooring to boat docks, and the telescoping pull handle retracts into a hide-away pocket when not in use. Additional top and bottom carry handles allow for lifting in tight spaces such as boat decks, dive shop benches, or vehicle trunks.
Internally, the Curacao Clipper features two main compartments:
- Lower compartment – sized to hold a full set of scuba gear including fins, mask, regulator set, BCD, and wetsuit.
- Upper compartment – for clothing, accessories, or lightweight gear.
Inside the bag are stow pockets for smaller items such as dive computers, logbooks, and personal items, helping keep them secure during travel. Compression straps inside the compartments help stabilize the load, preventing shifting during transport.
The bag is available in multiple color options, including Blue, Grey, and Yellow, aiding in quick identification at luggage carousels.
The design incorporates a repairable frame system, meaning wheel assemblies or support structures can be replaced if damaged, extending the usable lifespan of the bag.
