I've never used PVA solid bags before and I'm keen to give them a try.
My only concern at the moment is how fast they melt. (Yes I'm using summer bags)
Some of the waters I go to are upto 20ft deep, would a bag make it this far before dissolving?
I've played about in buckets etc but this obviously is not a true representation.
Apologies if this has already been answered.

If you are worried you can double bag it

Can coat bags in oil to slow down disolving rate.

Thanks, I never even thought of double bagging.
I have plenty of hemp oil, I'll try both methods and hope for the best lol.

If it bursts before you hit the bottom you feel it on the drop.

Double bag then dip in oil or hydro fish . Double bagging makes it super tight too

I reckon you will be fine at 20ft deep, just make sure that your bag is compact and puncture it so that it sinks immediately when it hits the water.
If you don't it could sit on the surface for 5-10 seconds until it sinks. If you want a little extra piece of mind then use some Frylight Coconut Oil Cooking Spray, 190ml on it which will delay the breakdown of the bag.

Decent tip with the frylight, most of us carry some in our cook bags anyway!

This is going off topic slightly, but I'm sure i read on this forum a good while ago that the fry light / low calorie cooking sprays damage the Teflon coating on your pans/ toasters etc.
IIRC it is something to do with the temperature they cook at, apparently Teflon actually recommend against using these sprays to get the longest life out of your pans.

Sure I heard the same thing somewhere.
My fishing frying pan is not non-stick, it was properly seasoned with butter and salt when I got it around 25years ago, yes it is that old, and I only use proper vegetable, olive or sunflower oil to cook with.
As for PVA bags in the lake, the deepest I've used them in is around 15feet. Gardner bags went that deep with no problems, although I do put the rig and lead in to take it down quickly.

A spray with good hemp oil in has got to be a winner if it's thin enough to spray
