Naw, piece of cake.
The guy I had to carry out of the water and up the beach to the dry sand during the rescue portion of the NAUI ITC weighted 275 lbs. Now THAT was heavy.
My Twin Pst E Series 130s Are Here!

Curious, why LP 72s and not the E7-100s?triton94949:The only other tanks you would ever need would be a set of LP 72s for the shallower stuff.
Would that be strictly a DIY solution? Does anyone sell such a beast?triton94949:

My twin LP72s are used and dirt cheap, will last forever, and are perfect for dives to 175 fsw or less. No sense in hauling around the bigger pigs when I dont need the bigger pigs.
StSomewhere:
WEST MARINE sells rust-proof dollies that fold up for easy transport. Indispensible for hauling around big pigs.

Andy if you liked Apocalypse Now have you had a chance to get the director's cut DVD? Its longer, and it adds scenes that the movie release cut out. There is a French plantation scene which is awe inspiring. Also, there is a MASH scene where the boat meets up with the bunnies from the USO show. Great movie. "You are in the Navy, Sailor, so take off that raggedy Army-looking junk ..." Shades of the annual Navy-Army football game.

Home Depot + WD40 + fresh water wash = 5 or 6 of these hand trucks to one West Marine stainless version.
When Michael and Terry did my DIR/F a few years ago, they brought their rigs to Catalina. WITHOUT A HANDTRUCK. They schlepped them from the boat, up the ramp to the cab - from cab to "hotel" (Hermosa) - Hotel to cab (to dive park) and back. A whole lotta schlepping going on. I grabbed Michaels as he was waiting for the boat.... woah. You gotta want it, man.

But, when you get out of the water, how do you handle it? You always need someone to help you out, don't you?
I have the same tanks, but I don't make it twin because 130s twin setup is over my capacity.

triton94949:You can always put your tanks on in the water, and take them off in the water too.
If you are diving caves, then wheel the tanks in a dolly right into the water.
If you are diving off a boat, put the tanks in the water then get in.
Make sure you inflate the wing first, of course.
