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

[Texasguy]

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 dive. I also don't want to make it too custom, if it gets stolen.

Looking to pull two 40's and a DPV.

Any ideas?

I was thinking: 40 in. 300 lb. Capacity Low-Profile Creeper, Gray

Have you at least tried the collapsible canvas carts with the big wheels?

Single tank? If yes, an old fat wheel golf pull cart...

 

[rhwestfall]

And a sand anchor (auger) to lock it to...

YMMV...

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

They used to sell them (auger stakes/locks) to secure tanks on the beach

So the answer is no.

So the answer is no.

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

I think if you dragged that onto the sand, you'd get sand all up in the axels and the wheels wouldn't work so well once you got back on pavement. I also wouldn't trust that it wouldn't get stolen, although I guess it would at least be cheaper to replace.

What about a big kid’s SNOW sled? They hold a ton and I doubt anyone would steal it in FL!

We used these to haul gear when ice diving and they were even pushed down a steep hill filled with gear. You did mention a sled.
