Integrating your Tank Dolly® into beach and shore diving
Use map software such as Google Earth or Maps for integrating your Tank Dolly® into beach diving:
- Viewing your dive site in "satellite mode" shows the location of parking, the types of terrain and the distance over the terrain your Tank Dolly® must traverse to reach the point-of-entry
- The type of terrain dictates the model of tires used on your Tank Dolly® (Sand Tires or All-Terrain Tires)
The Tank Dolly® was designed to be locked if left unattended
Viewing your dive site in "satellite mode" will show if a fixed object is assessable near your point-of-entry to lock your Tank Dolly® to if left unattended
Locking your Tank Dolly®
Locate a fixed object such as a table, bench, fence, handrail, bike rack, or a lifeguard tower
- Remove the Oval Handle for the Tank Brace
- Place the Oval Handle in the Weight box
- Thread a lockable cable through the Oval Handle and the (2) 1 inch (2.5 cm) diameter portholes engineered into the Weight Box
- Use a combination lock to secure the Tank Dolly®
Lifeguard tower:
- Ask permission from the lifeguard before locking your Tank Dolly® to the tower
- Part of your pre-dive planning should be to locate a fixed object to lock your Tank Dolly® to if left unattended
