I have a X-Mas tree ladder so you can climb up with your fins on. A wider platform is good so you can turn around, take off your gear. I never liked taking my gear off in teh water then trying to lift my gear up out of the water and onto the boat. Its a real pain.
I would love a full platform bracket or something like this one pictured. Maybe one day in teh future. ;)

Thanks for the input Hammer, I was hoping you'd chime in with some advice. Due to the condition of my ladder I was forced to drop the gear in the water and haul it onboard. Luckily my girl is light enough so she can exit the water via the ladder without issue.
I like the idea of the christmas tree ladder, I may have to replace the current platform/ladder and add that to the mix.
Currently I'm only dropping in with one tank, no extra gear at all.. maybe a camera in the future but that's about it.
Thanks again for the input.
Dan
