In addition to all the Coast Guard required and Diver recommended equipment listed above you definitely need a well thought out Ladder to get back on board.
It needs to be set up to be easy to use even with rough seas and a very tired diver. I've seen several injuries from ladders that flopped too much, didn't protrude into the water far enough, didn't have enough room for fins, etc. So, spend some time on this. You won't regret it.
