Mmmmm now i see, ok go with the bucket idea or a very heavy duty sack. Add handles (maybe backpack type) stow all your gear inside it on route to the dive site. Then as you already said add weight. I have a small grapnal anchor for my kayak. would it be possible to add this below the bucket with another line although shorter to anchor at the bottom? (from the bucket) Will add a bit of gear but possibly not as much. Other than that my only thoughts are to either have the bucket/weight on the bottom to use as an anchor with some form of stop plate to set to your required depth. Or to ensure your gear is as steamlined as possible (assuming big seas wont be a problem as you wouldn't be diving) so to reduce wind drag at surface etc.
