Good advice on this thread, so not a lot to add except. There’s nothing like a great day at sea……and there’s also nothing like a bad one. If in doubt don’t go out.

I have had a couple of boats that length that I’ve used for diving. To be honest it will be really tight on space with what you want to do. If it’s just 2 k offshore and diving only I’d keep it...
