SO I'm new to diving and I live in Austin Tx as the more observant may have gathered from the thread tittle. I have a 19' bass boat that I want to mod for diving with. The simple part for me would be to just get the right ladder buuuuuut life is seldom that simple. My better half is hitting 50 this month. I'd rather find a way that would ease the task for her of hauling herself up a ladder in full gear. Maybe some kind of small aluminum platform that I could gusset into the boat and store in the garage when I actually use the boat for fishing. Any kind of ideas that would help me get the little woman out there in the water with me would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
