Dive support vehicles

(Forms of transportation used to get you and your gear to and from the dive site)
I have seen my share at the local quarries/beaches, mostly trucks and SUV's. But what do you guys use. Lets see pics fully loaded with your normal dive gear compliment and a description as to why your setup is the best, whether it be your H1 the Greyhound bus or your Schwinn.

Unfortunately I don't have any gear laden pics to post right this minute, nonetheless my two options are:

2003 Mazda B3000 pickup
For when I have more than one diver to outfit or need to get to a remote location

1999 Honda Civic Hatchback (45mpg goodness)
For when its just me and i'm traveling a long distance

We use a Taurus wagon at the moment, not optimal but it is paid for.

We can fit two complete recreational rigs, 4 tanks and 2 bicycles in the back of it comfortably (we ride bikes as well... and yes, I know about the excercise-possible DCS hit problem, we don't ride if we have been diving anywhere even remotely NEAR the limits).

Our 2003 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 4x4 aka SCUBA Truck
The front

The Side

The Back

Packed Truck (we are getting better and better at packing it! This was our first time.. Gear for 6 divers all in the back)

Thats packed! Did you have any room left for divers?

2008 Honda Ridgeline. I really like the flexibility: 4 doors, rear seats fold up completely and individually for seating/cargo flexibility, locking "trunk" space under the bed, tailgate that folds down or opens sideways, and pickup bed with tie-down points for keeping tanks outside of the passenger compartment (a big deal to me.) Plus roof racks to hold a Thule if necessary.

I've got a 4 door chevy tahoe I use for diving. works great.

(looking for a pic of it loaded up, but don't have one on this computer.)


Regardless of your vehicle, get you a set of Husky Liners for your cargo area.

This keeps wet BC's, wetsuits, sand/dirt out of your carpet and carpet padding. keeping this moisture out keeps down mildew and smell.

you can get one for about any cargo area.

they have a lip on them to keep moisture from draining over the side. they work great and I won't have a SUV without one.

Where is the space for the double tanks, rebreather, UV26 scooter, and the other little accessories. That thing is worthless...

This is a great idea I will have to see if I can find one for my Blazer.
