I have an underused outside toilet at my house, and I'm thinking about repurposing the room as a dive locker. It's a pretty tight space though, so looking for ideas to maximise the space.
Has anyone squeezed a practical dive locker into this sort of space? If so, what do you like and and what would you change? Love to hear your ideas!
Diagrams below.
The room is 1450mm x 1450mm (4'9" for you American types), and has hot and cold water and drain, which will be handy after I remove the toilet and hand basin. The door opens inwards, so that will have to change to either outward opening or a roller door. Room goes directly to the back yard, which is secure.
I'm thinking something along the lines of laying my tanks down under a low shelf on the back wall (2 x singles, 1 x twins, 1 x stage). On the shelf I'd put dive tubs (room is just big enough for two end-to-end). Above that, considering either a bench or just 300mm deep cupboards full length of the back wall. To store regs, torches, masks, fins, etc, plus spares. Will also have power for a charging station.
Along the right, I'd put a deep rectangular stainless steel wash tub, as big as can practically fit, with a benchtop that hinges down over it if needed, and possibly a wire rack above for leaving small items to dry.
