[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 284819, member: 2983"] A 12' tin I'd be a little hesitant, but I dive all the time out of a 1648. As stated by others, we enter and exit the water from the bow, which has also been reinforced to handle the weight. In winter, I dive a drysuit w/ full helmet, sometimes it takes an additional 30 - 40 lbs of weight to get down, so theres a good bit of weight on the boat. A 20 HP 4 stroke yamaha and an additional body (running coms and air) are in the stern. Edited to add: You could easily throw your BC and tank it the water and jump in and dress out. I swim out of my 1448 a lot and can get back in bow or stern, would be just as easy to throw my gear on board from the water. Also, if you can't get back in your 12', just beach it and walk in. Good luck, glad to hear of another diver. [/QUOTE]
