A general guide to setting up a lightweight and durable dive board that functions as a dive float and back pack for your gear. SHOPPING LIST BELOW:

(The above link is a full write up with hyper links to the various parts you will need for the build.)
I often find myself hiking down cliffs or on long trails to get to hard to reach dive spots. The last thing I want is a super heavy dive float back pack which will exhaust me before I even get to the water let alone how difficult it could be pulling it through the water. I found this DIY project to be one of my most useful projects so far!

You're on a roll dude! Great Video!

@KeenDog87 4 года назад

Thanks to that Bamboo Inspiration! I appreciate the opportunity to try and be a useful tool rather than just a "tool" in our dive community. haha.

Oh man, this is awesome! I've been trying to think of ways to protect my catch from seals/sharks; attach my float line/gun to so I don't lose it; be visible to others; have a place to rest if I cramp up; have a way to carry my gear across cliffs and farmland. I was looking at a float boat but they are so expensive! The only way I could see this improving is if you could cover the catch more. That's where float boats excel. Thanks for the video!

We actually started a company based on helping spearos with tips/hacks etc. Feel free to check out www.finandforage.com if you haven't already! Lots of how to's on the FF youtube as well. Cheers!

This is really helpful, thanks. I have recently gone from a setup like this to a slightly modified version with a paddle board, but this was still helpful for thinking through how to put everything together to make it as easy to carry from the car to the ocean as possible.

Excellent explanation and build as well. I have a few Boogie Boards sitting around. Thanks for your contribution. No filler language, all practical tips. Subscribed and thumbs up, bro!

Great build man! I literally made as similar rig today! then came across your video. Great minds think alike!

@KeenDog87 4 года назад

haha right on! My goal this year is help out the local dive community as much as possible :)

@pablolobo6560 2 года назад

Great idea, tutorial and the backup page with all the links, thank you!! I actually prefer the idea of a body board, not only because I have quite a few old ones lying around, but because it makes for a perfect raft to rest on and even move around in the water.

@VidarrKerr 2 года назад

I use my surfboard and a buoy. The buoy attaches to the board, and the board gets anchored, everything else attaches to the buoy.

@pablolobo6560 2 года назад

@@VidarrKerr sounds great. Surfboards can be very zippy and a great raft.

@pablolobo6560 2 года назад

I made my own last summer with a bodyboard with plenty of accesorios built into with with plenty of gear attached to it, no problems and actually turned out amazingly well (I'm at the southern hemisphere). This video helped lot too!

@VidarrKerr 2 года назад

@@pablolobo6560 Yeah, I just made (like finished yesterday) a new float out of one of those circular "pool noodles" and I put a net in the center. It looks pretty professional. I am in Brazil and prices for quality gear is way too expensive. It is always better to build your own.

@lukealexander3639 Год назад

Gave me ideas to do for my fishing bodyboard lol using it at local lakes so dont have to worry about sharks, just eagles and hawks stealing my catch.

Great build man! How much was the total setup?

@KeenDog87 4 года назад

Mahalo! The total build was about $130 with all the bells and whistles. You could easily do it for under $100 though.

@MrSqueakinator 3 года назад

You shoot with a reel and a float line? What's the purpose of having them both?

@sassyassasin2712 3 года назад

Not to lose your gun if you let it go for whatever reason

@KeenDog87 3 года назад

You're like the first person that caught that! I personally don't like reels but this gun came with one. Sometimes, depending on the boat and cap, float lines are a bother to them, so I just leave the reel on for when I can't use my float line.

Where can we get the kayak flag holder?

@KeenDog87 3 года назад

The kayak flag mount was bought from Walmart: www.walmart.com/ip/Kayak-Safety-Flag-Mount-Kit-Universal-Kayak-DIY-Accessories-for-Boat-Canoe-Yacht-Dinghy/660846171
