Tank carrier

[Octopusprime]

I keep looking at the webbing tank carriers just seams like something that would be easy to make. I'm not going to use it a lot but there is one dive site we have to hike in about 150 yards. I have a back pack gear bag and I was thinking if I got 2 tank carriers would make it easier to hump in 2 tanks.

has anyone made one? Maybe out of webbing, tie down strap, or paracord.

Not sure how it would be easier than some of the alternatives. Switch ti diving doubles and problem solved. You can also use a 2 wheeled dolly which is common for cave country side mount divers if the terrain isn't too rough.

I have a cart but it does not work well most of the way it is a dirt path and fine but then you have to do a little off-roading and drop down 10-15 ft and back up the other side.

i have walked in geared up and carried the other and carried in gear both were a pain

The Dive Rite Transpac was designed specifically for carrying doubles on hiking situations.

That is nice config. But I would have to buy the transpac, wing, 2new tanks and manifold. To be honest for that much I should just buy tank holders...

fair enough.

Check that picture out. That tank carrier is quite nice and very sturdy. Just not sure how carrying the tanks via a carrier instead of the valve would be that much better

This is one case where I love diving side mount with Quick connects.....get geared up, walk the tanks down to the site, plug in and dive.
