Keep Sand, Water & Mud Out of Your Car

Beach divers know the struggle—wet wetsuits, sandy boots, and muddy gear quickly turn the back of your car into a mess. The XS Scuba Landing Pad solves that problem with a simple and effective design.

This large circular changing pad lets you stand on a clean surface while removing your wetsuit and boots, then quickly converts into a sealed gear bag that keeps sand, water, and mud contained.

Perfect for shore dives, beach entries, and muddy dive sites, the Landing Pad keeps your gear organized and your vehicle clean.


How It Works

  1. Spread the Landing Pad flat on the ground (36 in / 91 cm diameter).

  2. Stand on the pad while removing your wetsuit and boots.

  3. Pull the two handles to cinch the pad closed around your gear.

  4. Secure it and toss it in the trunk—sand and water stay contained.


Why We Like It

Clean Gear Changes
Provides a clean surface to stand on while changing out of wetsuits and dive boots.

Keeps Sand & Water Contained
The drawstring-style closure traps sand, mud, and water inside.

Perfect for Shore Diving
Great for beach dives where gear often ends up covered in sand.

Large Changing Surface
36-inch diameter gives you plenty of room to change comfortably.

Simple & Durable Design
Built tough for repeated use at beaches, docks, and dive sites.


Ideal For

  • Shore divers

  • Beach diving

  • Kelp forest dives with rocky entries

  • Divers who want to keep their car clean
