Vintage Double Hose

Hello, does anyone still make the old time tube covers we used to use when shore diving (Aqua Craft). They slipped over about a 15 inch car tube. Some had a mesh bottom and some were solid nylon. Most were orange or yellow and also had a top cover with zipper and a holder for a dive flag. Recently while dragging my dive flag around Table Rock, it is the kind that uses a swim noodle with lead counterbalance weight, I decided that the flag spent more time in the water than above it. Also, BIG DISADVANTAGE, the old tubes could be used as a resting place/surface float for us no-BC divers and that swim noodle thing does not serve this need at all. I can easily drag my Ocean Kayak ( which is a superior dive vessel) but cannot carry it on the Whaler. Dragging the Whaler is not going to happen so when diving from the boat or from shore a tube would be great and portable enough to carry on the boat etc. I like being tethered to a flag, my wife can see where I am and the supposed safety of the flag follows you to ward off boaters. I used to have several of these and have no idea where they went off to. James

Hi Nemrod,
Global manufacturer makes them.
Smith diving in Mpls Mn sells them.

Are you going to Wayzee?

Thanks for the info. I will try and check them out.

No, I don't think I can do Wayzee. That is way to cold for my thin blood. I hope to catch up with you guys--for certain---next Spring inn Florida or sooner even but I cannot go to Wayzee. Maybe next year I can get a dry suit or something and try Wayzee.
When I was a Table Rock a few weeks back and dove that paddle wheeler in 100 feet of water the temperature was 48 degrees according to my thermometer. I still have not warmed up. James

Hi James,
I think Leisure pro sells them.
Wayzee is warm above 20 feet,
