C-Dory as Dive Boat?

Mike, See DiveCat's album. Dive Cat is an early TC-255 TomCat set up for diving. And... It's for sale! It would be a nice stable platform for dive operations. PM Bob Cat for info.
 
We dive off of our boat. 2 tanks fit nicely under the dinnette table, just built a holding bar so they don't shift under way (pictures coming). Can carry 4 more tanks, 2 each at each of the forward footwells (passenger and driver). We set up a sun shower for the cockpit to rinse off the gear, then let it air dry, bring in by nightfall. Nothing fancy on the dive ladder, just modified one to stay put that hangs over the side, we clip our BC's and gear to a mooring line draped over the side before boarding ourselves. Seems to work for us!
 
Fishtales loaned me his dive ladder attachment and I had one like it made so I can get into the boat from the side.....I tried the ladder in the back but it is way to hard ..(Fishtales design is by far the best)... I have twins so I can't have a dive platform mounted...but if you go with a single engine you can have a rear dive platform.... I have a 22' cruiser...
