lol como se dice "dive log"? Seriously, as long as it tracks better than mine that would be a great name.pipedope once bubbled... SNIP...What features would you want in a diveyak?...I always thought "Calypsito" (little Calypso) would be a good name for a diving 'yak.
Hmmm... good question on the design issue. I'd start with the SOT design. Its drawback is that its sooo wide. What if it was narrower but taller, so that you could place balast (up to 4 tanks or the equivalent in lead weight pouches) in-line in the bilge? The diver would sit on top of the tanks. To pull a tank, he'd tilt it back by grasping the top and then roll it into the water.
Sounds even to me like there are a lot of drawbacks with this, however.
A couple of things missing from all dive yaks are dry storage and COLD storage. I'd like a cold drink now and then out there on that saltly desert!
