    Gear dolly, one that can roll and be like a sled on sand.

    Two 40's, a midsized DPV, and a flag float, fins too.

    Gear dolly, one that can roll and be like a sled on sand.

    I usually go for a 2.5hour dive. I'd hate to poll the beach who is there to stay for that long.

    Gear dolly, one that can roll and be like a sled on sand.

    I thought about it but such wheels cost like arm and a leg just for the wheels themselves. https://smile.amazon.com/StoreYourBoard-Replacement-Balloon-Wheels-Inflatable/dp/B077Y38R4Q/ Plus these wheels suck on asphalt as they wear out on hard surfaces and can easily puncture. Plus, depending...

    Gear dolly, one that can roll and be like a sled on sand.

    Only if i attach to myself as a dive flag. If the current conditions are strong, that "boat" would pull on the diver. I think it also adds a problem of coming back and not finding the cart because the ocean took it away. Also, this excluded any casters that are reasonably priced. Any wheels...

    Gear dolly, one that can roll and be like a sled on sand.

    I have a real nice $150 cart, I am not risking it.

    Gear dolly, one that can roll and be like a sled on sand.

    I am afraid a normal beach cart statistically has more chances of disappearing when left unattended.

    Gear dolly, one that can roll and be like a sled on sand.

    I dive solo and it hard in terms that I can't unload gear next to a dive site and then leave that gear with a diving buddy while parking a bit further away. So, I am thinking of building a dolly that can roll and then sled on sand. It can't be too expensive, I'll have to leave it while doing a...

    COVID-19: Diving after you have had COVID?

    I had a mild case. No temperature, cough that persisted for 2-3 weeks. Don't feel like I have lost any use of lungs. Built my own gym, do exercise frequently.

    Does anyone dive the Commercial/Angler's/Datura drop off on DPVs?

    Just gotten a DPV with a good range. Looking for other DPV divers in the same area.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    Like at any other place, be polite, don't get into arguments with people who have nothing to lose. Be Florida smart. And leave your Rolex Submariner at home.

    New Genesis 2.0

    The manual says to use only a specific lube for the rings. I did see a small packet included. Say, if once it gets opened, it is like a tooth paste without a screw cup, I am not sure it can be contained well after the first use. Can one use a regular "run of the mill" silicone paste on the...

    New Genesis 2.0

    2.1 arrived today safe and sound. A few questions: 1) The metallic feet on Sentry, my concern that they might scratch the body. 2) The continuing speed selector has corners that are somewhat sharp. Do you use your thumb joint to position the lever? I tried to use the soft part of the tip of...

    Diving sidemount on liveaboards?

    I'd like to see data about SM divers holding a significant risk of injury on a crowded deck. I'd like to see a hard data to make sure that operators are not free to discriminate because of some wild fallacious falsehood. What is next? No women on the boat because of a bad omen? Don't get me...

    Uv 26 conversion

    Wouldn't it be ultimately more rewarding just buying a newer DPV that is lighter and has more features? As a prior UV26 owner, even in your case with a reduced weight, it is still too heavy. Wouldn't you want a DPV that you can lift and handle with one hand (on the ground)?

    Please school me on recreational DPV's

    Based on the title, i have a question. Where do you draw a line between "recreational DPV' and, I guess, "professional DPV'?
