2pineinn Posted September 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2012 My first try at snokeling.. I want to do a excurstion on a boat and go out to the reefs. I do not have a lot of upper body strength. How hard is it to get back in the boat? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_BJ Posted September 3, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2012 under normal circumstances if you can climb a 6 step ladder, you can handle the average boat ladder (on a nice day) the boat in 99 out of 100 times WILL have a ladder, but depending on the seas it might be bouncing a bit . . .

peter_krynicki Posted September 4, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2012 In Key West a few of the trips use large catamarans - Fury and Sebago. They lower a stepped ramp from the bows and you can virtually sit into the water one step at a time. Getting out is just about as easy. The ramp is long enough so that the last step is under water and you can sit on this, remove your fins, then climp back into the boat. Pjk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekybiker Posted September 4, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If you can climb the ladder out of a pool you'll be able to get back in the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
