I have used the Oceanic mesh duffel bag on a few local boat dives and it works well. I really like the flat bottom. My old bag with the round bottom loses available space after packing my gear. Also, the Oceanic bag is a rectangle shape so it doesn't try to fold the gear when lifting. Note, my BCD does not fit in the bag. This bag could be a bit larger, but my BCD does not fold flat so I will not fault the bag. The zippers work well so far. Take care closing the zippers so you don't catch the fabric underneath the zippers. Opening the zippers is very smooth. The mesh is thick and seems sturdy. The bag dries quickly after rinsing. This Oceanic mesh bag was the least expensive of the mid-to-upper range of gear bags. I would recommend this to others.
