With the exception of the Seeker, the only other boats that I know of that have a "rung ladder " are the Blue Fathoms and the Jeannie II. Some that have a "T-Ladder" besides the Wahoo are, the Diversion, Outlaw, Venture III, Deep Adventure, CRT, Dena Dee, Seagull and I think the John Jack but Zero can confirm this. The boats that have the absolute worst ones are the fishing boats in that they don't have one. For those you inflate your dry suit, take all your gear off in the water, bounce up and down so you can grab the transom and if you're really lucky it's got a cut out for walk in entry, otherwise it's squirm over the transom. I have yet to see a dedicated fishing boat with a swim platform! :-) With this it definitely helps to have someone on board to haul your ass in. An equipment line is mandatory and doubles are very difficult! Have only dived these a few times and only when we're using them for a "special project", it's the only boat running or it's for a special price (free).
