Nope - I use a boat cos I rate its skipper, mainly. Having lots of room for kitting up, tea & biccies apres dive & a good atmos on the boat count for more than a lift. Lifts are ferkin fantastic though. By strange coinicidence, all the boats I use (with the exception of Inspiration out of Eastbourne - we've asked the skipper if he could fit one but he wasn't having it - bloody RIB drivers) have lifts

Same as Rob almost

Getting out the water is such a small part of the whole diving experience I don't really care if it is by laddder or lift. To be honest I would rather spend my money on more dives than luxuries on the boat.

The skipper that gets the shot on the wreck I booked, puts me in on slack and has a half decent ladder gets my money. I also avoid skippers that take their problems out on me.

If there are more than one boat running out to a site I want to dive, I look at the boat and the skipper first, but yes, for the deeper stuff, I do ask about lifts.

l hate polls, but l still voted.

l voted NO, a lift is nice but a decent skipper is more important.

So Andy looks like you and Dave (skipper) better get lifts.

As far as I'm concerned a lift is a nice bonus, but not something that would influence my choice of boat. I'm not loaded down with loads of stages though. What Rob and Matt said basically.
