About Water Recovery Body Bag

Unlike standard solid vinyl bags that trap water and create a dangerously heavy “pool” effect when lifted, this bag is constructed from a high-strength, porous mesh fabric. The mesh allows water to drain out instantly as the remains are lifted, ensuring that dive teams, lifeguards, and coast guards are only lifting the actual weight of the remains rather than hundreds of pounds of trapped water.

Classic Plastics engineered this bag specifically for underwater operations where visibility is severely compromised:

• High-Visibility Color: The entire bag is constructed in a vivid, fluorescent Yellow.

• Orange Floater Grips: The zipper sliders feature dual bright orange floater grips that drift upward in the water column, allowing divers to immediately locate and operate the zipper track by touch or low sight.

• Ergonomic Loading: A 3-sided perimeter-style zipper lets the top flap open entirely, simplifying the process of loading and securing remains underwater.

The bag is equipped with 10 reinforced carry handles sewn securely along its perimeter. This multi-handle layout allows a large recovery team (up to 5 people per side) to coordinate an effortless lift from the water onto a boat deck, dock, or shoreline. The heavy-weight fabric classification ensures it resists tearing under the uneven physical stresses of marine extractions.

This specialized bag is standard-issue B2B gear for tactical maritime recovery. Its engineering complies with the high-stress retrieval protocols required by:

• Naval and military operations

• Police dive teams and search & rescue (SAR) units

• Coast guards and harbor patrols

• County coroners and specialized disaster response units
