[QUOTE="Keith1, post: 392971, member: 8028"] Back in the 1960s I had a 12 foot Sears Game Fisher with a 5.5 Johnson and dove out of it all the time. What I did then and still do is to put weight belt and spear gun in boat. Then if anyone else is in the boat they move to the other side. I just grab the gunnel and push myself down into the water. Then start very strongly start swimming up and pulling hard with my arms and just sort of swim into the boat. If you are in salt water and have large fins especially if you have on a wet suit it's not difficult at all. Fresh water is more difficult. Also if 2 people are diving have one person on the other side of the boat hold down on to the gunnel while the first person enters. If you try it, first try in shallow water. [/QUOTE]
