    I just don't log dives

    New diy stuff

    Ok, DIY lights, hose minders and camera housings are great and fun, but does anyone experiment with new types of material for suits, cork screw fins, submersible's, built from scratch pontoon dive boats, gear donning rigs, weight integration harnesses, underwater communication devices; just to name a few.
    C'mon people let's get DIY inventing. Or even expressing differen't ideas to get feedback on potential projects.
    But let's do it in a safe and responsible manner.
    Be-kind to Large Mammals, or else
    If it ain't broke, get a bigger hammer.
    Remember when you see a service man or woman in uniform; they put on that uniform to protect your rights, your freedom, and your life. Please help protect them with your gratitude, your love and appreciation, your positive thoughts and prayers.

    What I did is pretty simple :

    a. Slate from an broken white plastic garden chair.
    b. Octopus holder (a collection of pieces from an old backbag).
    c. 1 and 2 kilograms lead hard weights.
    d. Weight belt.
    e. 2.5 kilograms lead hard weight covered with 3 mm neoprene for my WI BCD.
    f. Safe mirror from a 316 stainless steel plate.
    g. Boots and Gloves dryer.
    h. Small Boots and Gloves dryer for traveling.
    Tired of such a long Surface Interval.

    I made 2 cataraft tubes from scratch. I've used them on class 3+ whitewater for over 5 years now. My good frame didn't fit my raft. I'm sure the technique could work for a dive platform. Anyone interested I'll send info.

    I am thinking folding A-frame winch that lifts your gear and is mounted in your trunk / truck bed. Imagine if you didn't have to lift your doubles onto your back, but could just lower them on with an electric winch.

    Either that or create a canoe one could dive from, that would be cool too.
