Hello All,
We're getting a little old (both 63) for beach diving here in Monterey, and are looking at buying a Zodiac. We're both experienced divers and have dove out of Zodiac on numerous dive trips, but have never owned one. So we're looking for recommendations and basic tips on ownership.
What size (Length and Beam) would you recommend for two or three divers?
Outboard motor HP?
Type and size of anchor, considering we would all be in the water at the same time.
Also recommendations on ladder a (The ladders at West Marine looked really flimsy), GPS, Radio?
We'll mostly be diving Monterey Bay but will occasionally dive the north coast. And maybe even some free diving if Abalone season ever reopens.
Thanks in Advance for your tips and recos.
