I have had a few post dive showers including the Big Kahuna, but after a recent stop at my local bargain store, Black Friday Stores. I found an a/c power pond pump for $4. I paired this with some old hose laying around the house and bought a 5 gallon tote with lid from Home Depot for $5.98, was cheaper than the Orange bucket and lid. My truck happens to have an AC outlet in the bed, you can also use a cigarette lighter power source and bilge pump. Here are some pics. The water has decent pressure and last longer than expected when full. Purpose is to get sand off my booties and salt water off face and body, as well as a wetsuit flush, quite happy with the results. I built this for under $10.

No power source needed.
 

And if you want something off the shelf and relatively inexpensive.
