SCUBAPRO Compact Dry Bag

Ever notice how water has a way of working its way into every corner of your dive bag? At the end of your dive day, make sure you have some dry clothes and a dry towel by packing them in a dry bag. SCUBAPRO’s waterproof compact dry bag is just big enough for a microfiber towel, pair of shorts, T-shirt, cell phone and wallet. Just roll the mouth of the bag over a couple of times and clip it closed. Then toss it into your bag and forget about it until you’re ready to get un-wet. Price: $12 www.scubapro.com

Balanzza Digital Luggage Scale

Today’s ubiquitous baggage fees require dive trekkers, when traveling by air, to do a lot more planning when they’re doing their packing. The difference between a 50-pound checked bag and a 51-pound checked bag could be as much as $125 — each way. So knowing precisely how much your bags weigh has become more important than ever. The Balanzza digital luggage scale features a compact, ergonomic design and a large display screen. Before leaving home, just attach the quick-release strap to your bag, lift, wait for the beep, set it down and read the result. If you’re over the weight limit, that’s the time to fix it. The scale comes with two AAA batteries and reads weights up to 100 pounds. Price: $25 www.ulcs.com

Seasoft Drypak w/ Laptop Bag

Intrepid travelers who make a habit of hopping from boat to kayak to beach and back again will want to do their hopping with a Seasoft Drypak. All waterproof seams of this cargo-carrier are RF welded; however, the zippers are only rubberized, making the bag more splash-proof than fully dunkable. You can haul a lot of gear in its cavernous main compartment, including a laptop in the removable padded laptop sleeve. There’s also a front pocket for storing smaller items. Padded backpack straps and an adjustable sternum strap make easy work of toting the bag around. Price: $120 www.seasoftscuba.com
