Chariots For Sport Diving
At least two makes of chariot-like diver-riders for sport divers were on sale in the diving gear trade for a while after 1960.
One of those makes was tradenamed "Dolphin" and was made on the Isle of Wight. In the 1960s or 1970s, both ends were tapered to a point.
Another type was USA-made and looked like a wartime chariot but its hull was thinner.
