RIB/Hardboat
Hardboat (if its out all day)
O2
Essential (enough to satisfy 4 divers i.e. two lots of dives) so dive 2 doesnt get canned after emergency on dive 1

Onboard Compressor (free fills or happy to pay)
o2 clean, happy to pay, Nitrox prefered OK with premix for depth expected.

Teas/Coffees (on tap or limited)
either not fussed, one after each dive is perfecrtly acceptable (black)

Snacks
not bothered - special dietry needs I'll take care of scoff

Speed (planing hull or non planing)
Faster the better, stable on site for kitting up.

Diver Lift
Yes please, good ladder sufficient though so long as can get out easily onto deck area after dive.

Deck Area

Shelter
Yes please, enough for all divers not just first 4!

Emergency Cylinder & Reg on line.
Not essential (30/35m personal limit)

Dry Access & Egress from boat
Nice to have

On board storage (overnight)
Yes please, not essential

Overnight tank fill service
Yes please, doesnt have to be onboard but nice if it is, else local not 15 miles away, good fill essential none of this 190/200 bar stuff

Basic scuba spares for sale (eg masks,o'rings, fin straps, goodie
bags,batteries etc)
Yes please, not essential though

Diver Recall System (thunderflashes etc)
Yes

fresh water washdown (deck shower/hose)
etc,etc, etc
Not that fussed over a weekend but nice to have, offsite is sufficient, big bucket of clean water for reg etc rinse sufficient

Its also nice to have trolloeys to use from car park to boat for kit transfer, some of the marinas on the south coast have token release trolleys. A decent adjacent car park helps too. Advice on cost before arrival, most welcome.
