Can anyone direct me to a manufacturer of a heavy duty telescoping ladder like one in the photo (49 ft GB) that secures to transom and angles downward, also securing to swim platform? I need it to be strong enough to allow a scuba diver to come up with a tank
View attachment 30555
a little confused...swim platform to cockpit or water to swim platform?
if swim platform to cockpit, then why telescoping? (unlike picture?)
if from water to swim platform and you want sturdy...telescoping wouldn't be my choice..I'd go for a dive ladder made with heavy duty attachment point to platform and single pole wit separate legs off each side.
re: kind of dangerous. Not with a strong ladder. Yes, an option is to take tank off at surface and pass to someone on platform. Much better to also have option for diver to ascend ladder.
