100 ton barge or larger with two full dive spreads and a DDC, or any boat with a low, flat work deck with easy access off the side away from the props.
 
I don't mind the bangkas, but I don't really care for the 4'-5' backroll...
 
while we were on Malapascua last weekend, I commissioned this kid to make this kickass dive bangka... :mooner:

edit: the box on the back is for mounting a 400hp 4stroke outboard...

This bangka is a babe magnet:D Seriously, can you imagine hauling your gear in that thing..
 
Jenn, when they are properly designed, the drop isn't that high...

Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but when I was in Dumaguete, it seemed like quite a distance...I got used to it, but it was a little unnerving at first.

I prefer a nice skiff...or a luxury yacht :D
 
I like bigger boats! Small boats are awesome if they have adequate protection from the elements, or it's just nice and hot out! :D

However I prefer the larger boats like Gary's 46' Newton! :D Put 10 divers on a Newton, and it's heaven. Even 20 is comfortable.
