Someone explain something to me.

The Northeast wreck guys constantly explain some of their stroke gear by
saying "Well, the boats don't have tenders to come chase us in an
emergency", or "Well, the boat ladders are hard to climb".

Now the Aussie says "Well, the boats are hard to get in with twins."

What I don't understand is this:  If there are enough of you in the area,
why can't you get together, go talk with the boat captains, explain the
problems that you are having with their operations, and point out that the
guy who modifies his operation will likely make a whole bunch more money
off of you, when you tell the other captains that you are diving with Joe
over there, because HE took the time and trouble to listen to your
concerns.

This is called capitalism in action.  The guy who satisfies a market
demand, in your case, a boat better set up for diving doubles, reaps the
rewards.
