Shark Bite Scuba® and The Tank Dolly®
Thank you for trusting Shark Bite Scuba® with your gear
I am an underwater photographer, the inventor of The Tank Dolly® and the owner of Shark Bite Scuba®.
You are on this site because you're searching for a better way to move your heavy gear, and reduce your trips to and from the boat or the dive site. I understand. The lack of an efficient method to move gear was our motivation to design The Tank Dolly®.
Not only do I have a dive bag, weight, and heavy tanks; I have a large camera bag, dry-bag, drysuit bag, undergarment bag, and a pony bottle.
I have lots of gear, ask my dive buddies.
I am often asked about the origin of my company's name
I have been fascinated by sharks and scuba diving since I was a child. The word "bite" was added to create uniqueness and make light of the unwarranted concern that a shark might bite a diver.
My goal: Design a modular Tank Dolly® to move scuba gear
I needed an effective method to move all my gear safely, securely, and with minimal effort
This concept was simple, but the engineering was not.
In 2008, I drew the first design of The Tank Dolly® on a cocktail napkin while flying home from a Costa Rica dive trip.
I built the first model of The Tank Dolly® from foam-board and attached the components with a hot glue gun.
Proudly Designed, Manufactured, and Assembled in the USA
