Yeah!
on that boat!! Just take a look at those twin ladders mounted on the back of the boat!! If that doesn't work you could always do one of those Navy seal boardings you see in the movies. You hold your arm up like a hook and the boat comes by at high speed and they snag your arm with a loop and pull you into the boat.
Have a blast my friend!!

Jbd: what ladders? Aren't those the boat's motors? Well the dive operator specifically told me there will be no ladder.
Anyways, thanks all for the encouragement & well wishes. I'll post a short report when I come back! Cheers!

Instead of being worried...accept the fact that you will likely make something of an ass out of yourself. I am not a small girl and I have been climbing in and out of boats for Waterskiing for years. I have never had a graceful entry and I always end up a little more banged up than I would care to be. But, everyone understands and its really not a big deal. Just laugh it off and embrace your inner manete

I am small, and I still make an ass of myself frequently. Don't worry about it. Other people will also be making asses of themselves, and the nice people (most divers, in my experience) will help you out.
Have a great trip!
