Lightbulb How about a Handtruck/Dive float combo!!

Have not made one yet, but thought it a great idea. A hand truck (like the ups guys use) with big floaty wheels, that you can put your gear on and push down to the shore-When you are ready to dive, just put the flag up and push the rig into the water. Secure it, and dive on. You get the picture!

I will attempt to make one. Anyone else up for the challenge? Any suggestions on design and materials?

Ok if I keep the patent rights?

O so very cool. Bieotchin! I was not thinking about a motor & battery, more like low-tec.
How much for that bad boy. Are you the inventor?

that thing is awesome! looks costly though, and those wheels need to be beefed up for beach use.

That thing is pretty neat and very handy. I imagine you could possibly make one out of a cooler (with better wheels). Getting the bouyancy right would be tough.

put some pool noodles around the lid and weigh it down a bit. should be pretty stable, but also kind of bulky.
