The Ultimate Dive Vehicle

[NJScubaDoc]

I was daydreaming the other day about what I'd put in my ultimate dive vehicle and was wondering what accessories (money is not an option in this dream), what type of vehicle, you guys would add.

(Ooooh . . .ahhh! Add a clean compressor and a trailer full of O2 & Helium Bottles, and I'm off to the Caves of Florida & Yucatan).

hmm, are you talking about an ultimate dive boat, or a vehicle to get to the dive boat?
I have no interest in owning a boat so I would guess the ultimate boat would be a dive buddies boat with a nitrox compressor on board, hot showers...
Now if you mean ride to the boat... Im thinking a box truck with an air conditioned box like a tool truck. Its nice and big to hold lots of gear, lots of fresh water for dunk tanks and maybe a shower head for beach diving. Nitrox compressor, changing room, plenty of space for a nice well stocked first aid kit...

Well here is the no money option.


And if it keeps running I don't think I would change. There is just somthing about a vehicle you dont care at all about. It has been known to fly past 4WD Trucks on dirt roads down to the dive sites.

DTB, I agree about the unloved vehicle that keeps running. But man your van looks like it leaks rust instead of oil! LOL

Man, this won't be stage in any windy weather

DTM1981, it is cool van in your diving environment... It is run by a disel or gasoline?
It must be a disel....

I plan to get a little bit large one with a disel engine.

I plan to put the portable gas fill station inside of cargo..

Although she's getting pretty old, I'm quite happy with my SCUBABUS. It's already been on 2,300 dives with me and manages to keep getting me and my gear to the beach every day. Here's a link to a virtual tour of the inside: http://www.shakadivers.com/virtualtour.htm

This will tell you more about it: http://www.shakadivers.com/Bus Fact Sheet.htm

I can travel with enough gear for 9 people to make a two tank dive. It's been a work in progress and can be seen cruising the streets of Maui...usually with bubbles blowing from it as it coasts on by.

Anyone else have a unique dive vehicle to post about??

Ideallly, something like Corrigan told me about would be great. He
said one of the guys he dives with bought an old RV so that after they
get out on a winter dive they have a warm place for the surface interval.

If you don't have the ability of the RV (which includes me)... some folks
build a "Dive Trailer" to pull behind their vehicle.

or you could just use a large SUV... you can put tanks and gear for several
people in them.

here's my Tahoe at Morrison Springs for a dive with SeaYoda from Scubaboard.
