How do you get back in a 13 ft Boston Whaler after diving?

I am diver and was wondering about this.. This would be done in open ocean and in full scuba gear??How do you get back in a 13 ft Boston Whaler after diving?
13' boston whaler have low free-board so getting back in the boat is not too hard. you have a couple of choices:



purchase a 3 or 4 step ss boarding/swim ladder that will temporally mount to the gunnel's or transom of the boat. there are several different designs that you can look at.



you could also rig a loop of line tied to the side of the boat to use as an underwater step to help you get back in the boat.



they also make a "u" shaped step that attaches on the side of the transom. it pivots up when running and down to use as a step.



here's one that looks good

Same way I did it, arm, leg, second leg, the rest of you follows pretty easy. Or, like I did later on, put on a removable swim platform, much easier on the knees and other favorite body parts.How do you get back in a 13 ft Boston Whaler after diving?
Get your companion (you do have one?)to help.

Something else to think about,how do you anchor your boat?in the

"Open ocean"
climb in over the outboard. first step is the antiventilation plate
