Going to doubles and going home.

Good morning all,

I'm on my last day of quarantine from my wife.

Congrats on the health! And the new toys.

Thank you. Now to buy some groceries. I guess in Pit you have to drive to the store, give them your number and wait till they call you to come in.

You are gonna love doubles!

I attached a couple of pics of Stockton Lake.

Unless you have a station wagon or a truck, you might want to consider a small portable/foldable plastic chop-saw bench. Your back will love it.

I got one of the Keter collapsable benches. I'm quite pleased. Light, easily transportable, sets-up & knocks-down in seconds. Costco had them last year on sale for $60 something.

I used to dive doubles from a Volvo P1800 by opening the trunk and putting a piece of plywood on top of a milk crates and the trunk opening. Carried the tanks in the passenger seat "secured" with seat belt and bungees.

I used to dive doubles from a Volvo P1800 by opening the trunk and putting a piece of plywood on top of two milk crates and the trunk opening. Carried the tanks in the passenger seat "secured" with seat belt and bungees.

That is the most stylish way of diving I can think...you must have felt like a ...saint

That's a great idea. I normally use my car because gas mileage. For our shallow dives I can drive my truck but a couple of spots we go for deeper water is over 100 miles.

I was just thinking how to load everything up in my car. It's a 08 Cady STS. I can load everything but no place to put it on.

Have the same problem with my Civic, been putting my doubles on while sitting down and then getting up with them on.
Can absolutely not recommend doing it this way, some good ideas in this thread to resolve that though.

Walking with doubles isn't much of a problem really, sure they are heavier than a single tank setup but it's not until you have to walk in stairs (or other elevations), or if you're doing an entry with a lot of slippery rocks that you will start to miss the lower weight of your single tank.
They do feel so much better in the water than a single tank though, I hope you'll enjoy them!

Indeed...................I used to have better hair back then.
Best,

I put a small table in the back of my Journey. Works great.
