Hi All,
Not long now, first dive back is booked in for the 3rd April and I cannot wait.
Been busy over the latest lock down, getting some more kit together and I got myself a kick ass little van, plenty of space in the back to carry my gear, get changed on those rainy days and have a flat loading surface for getting my BCD hooked up.
My question as in the title, how to transport the cylinders, normally in the car I put them behind the driver and passenger seats then stuff my dry suit down one end and my under suit against the other, shut the doors, sorted they aren't going anywhere. However, now I have my van, i'm not sure what the safest way is to go about it.
I have plenty of ratchet straps, there are hook points near the back door, but if I got shunted it would be risky, so if anyone else travels to dive sites via van I would love to know how you safely transport your cylinders.
Thanks very much
John
