OK fellow divers what do you prefer, dont get all tight fisted and start spouting cost implications either, just the basics cos for this poll they all cost the same.

A rib is much more fun for the journey but a hard boat with a lift gets my vote every time.

The lifts I used (once!!) was fine - you just had to watch where you put your hands (unless you had plenty of fingers to spare).

Used all three, and mainly hardboat without lift, but the couple of occasions I've used one with lift - nice and easy (as the ad goes).
If you're diving this weeend, dive safe, and for everyone else, have a good'un.

<font color='#0000FF'>Hello,
Hardboat, due to technical diving a stable boat is 100% better to kit, also on the way you have a more comfy ride and more space. I find ribs that bounce too much. If hard boat is with lift, ofcourse yes, but in Malta never seen one. What about helicopter ? you just kit up near car, cilp cable to harness and back, it's better I hurry and register my idea

Hardboat for defo - ribs are only good if they're off the back of a liveaboard. Although if an alternate is not available then I'll hapily dive off of one (a RIB that is).

Hard boat by choice, but went for option without the tail lift as I have only ever been on 1 hard boat that had one!

Of course Liveaboard, which is not on there is the only way to dive really. Wait for the crew to tell you to get out of bed, into your bear, get on deck, after a bacon butty and coffee have been thrust into your hand, kit up, dive, back on board where more food is waiting for you!! Great life!!

Paul
