As the world starts to get back into the swing of travelling, Northern Diver has launched two upgraded models from its popular Voyager kit bag range – the 136L Voyager Lightweight Wheeled Travel Holdall and the 139L Voyager Maxi-Quest Wheeled Clamshell Travel Bag.
Both bags are lighter in weight than predecessors, have plastic zips to eliminate corrosion, are built from strong Ripstop nylon and have been given a style makeover.

The Voyager Lightweight wheeled holdall is perfect for those who need a travel bag for easy packing all your clothes or kit without compromising on size and capacity. With an outstanding 136 litres of packing space, this is a great bag for both weekend-long dive trips or weeks spent abroad.
The bag has been designed with airline weight limits in mind, and with an empty weight of 3.2kg, the new version is even lighter than its predecessor. It features two large compartments and a heavy-duty wheel system to deal with a variety of terrains. To keep smaller diving items secure, the main compartment includes a zipped mesh pocket built into the lid and is supplied with a wash bag for toiletries.
The Ripstop nylon used in the construction of this holdall makes it both strong and durable. The lightweight nylon fabric with interwoven ripstop reinforcement threads in a crosshatch pattern creates a finish that is water and tear-resistant. To ensure that your kit travels safely, the Voyager Lightweight is designed with an additional protective layer of Ripstop fabric on both sides of the bag, with a flexible abrasion-resistant base, coiled corner guards, hard plastic base runners, wheel guards and stop stand to make the bag an excellent workhorse for any trip.

Northern Divers Voyager Maxi-Quest is back with huge upgrades making it an excellent choice of travel bag for any adventure. The bag opens like a clamshell (in the middle), making packing much easier and allowing you to fit in a lot more luggage than it might first appear. The design makes it easy to share with a dive buddy or partner, each having one half of the case to save on baggage costs.
The high-quality materials and construction ensure the Maxi-Quest is built to last, with the added bonus of travel-friendly features and storage options that keep your gear safe, organised, and secure. Built from durable weather-resistant Ripstop nylon, it features a rugged extendable handle, heavy-duty all terrain wheels, and multiple external carry handles for easy mobility.
A tough and rugged design with padded interior frame providing stand-up accessibility, internal, vented mesh pockets to zip up your smaller gear safely, and full-length two-way plastic zips to access the main compartments. A large zipped front pocket has been increased in size to allow for diving fins (or other lengthy items) to be comfortably housed inside. External zipped side and top pouches are ideal for easy access to any documents you need to carry, and the built-in luggage pouch fits a standard sized business card.
To ensure that your belongings are kept extra secure there are adjustable compression straps, handy for when you are not using the bags full capacity.
