I was thinking on creating a custom cart to pull tanks, DPV, fins, flag, etc, like a block from parking to the beach. Since I dive solo, I can't leave my gear with someone and then go park. So, I need to conveniently haul my gear with me.
The idea was to have a cart that is not attractive enough to walk away but sturdy enough to be reliable.
However, the cart should also slide on sand, like a sleigh. I was thinking of making a bottom flat, and leaving just enough clearance from the ground, so when on concrete, it rolls, when on sand, it is still pull-able.
So, this week I decided to take my drawings to wood and made one:
So, the cart: Cart for scuba tanks and DPV
Loaded with bare minimum gear: Ready to go scuba
So, this is still unpainted. Will try tomorrow how it will do on sand.
PS: Not sure how the wood I chose for the bottom will do under a rain or a puddle...
