Scuba diving from a 12' ft tin

[JRyno10]

I have a 10ft Jon boat and can easily get in and out from the bow of my boat to snorkel. I also do not use a ladder most of the time - however my girlfriend will use it. It is just one of those small rope ladders that you wrap around a cleat The only real weight in the boat is a 6hp evinrude and a 3 gallon gas tank. I am also a small guy 5'10 160 I think it's possible depending on your size (And I don't know how much scuba gear weighs).

I do it all the time off my 12 foot flat. Inflate your bc fully and put it in the water first. Get in water then put it on. When getting back in take it off and put it in the boat first. Bilge pump is needed for this method.
